Cinnamon Spaghetti Squash Recipe
From Minnie: We finally decided to try a spaghetti squash dessert…and we absolutely LOVED it! We really like spaghetti squash with a spaghetti sauce served over it…and hubby really likes Spaghetti Squash Recipes served with a bit of olive oil, garlic, and herbs…but we had never tried it sweetened until this week—yummy, yummy—it is soooo good!

Cinnamon Spaghetti Squash Recipe
This Cinnamon Spaghetti Squash is a sweet and cozy twist on a classic! Roasted until tender and tossed with warm cinnamon, butter, and a touch of honey—simple, healthy, and deliciously comforting.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl Set
- 16-Piece Kitchen Dinnerware Set, Plates, Bowls, & Mugs
- Scoop Set, 3 PCS 18/8 Stainless Steel w/ Trigger
Ingredients
- ½ spaghetti squash
- 1 Teaspoon(s) extra virgin olive oil or margarine or butter
- Brown sugar to taste and/or Equal
- ½ Teaspoon(s) grated fresh ginger
- ½ Teaspoon(s) cinnamon
- ½ Teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Slice squash lengthwise and place cut sides down on a microwave-safe plate or dish.
- Microwave at high for about 5-6 minutes or until softened enough to rake out strands. I used a small squash so it may take a bit longer if your squash is larger. Cooking the squash can be done ahead of time.
- Once it’s cooked, scoop out the squash (I only used half the squash, since we only needed 3 servings—but this recipe is easily doubled to serve 6).
- In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Saute the squash with the sugar, ginger, and spices, adjusting them to suite your taste.
- Saute until thoroughly heated throughout.
