Maple Apple Spaghetti Squash Bake is a cozy, naturally sweet fall-inspired dish featuring roasted spaghetti squash strands tossed with tender, caramelized apples and a touch of maple syrup, finished with warming cinnamon. Perfect as a side or light vegetarian main.

Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash

4 tablespoons olive oil (or melted unsalted butter if not vegan)

1 teaspoon salt

2 apples, chopped

1/3 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Brush the cut sides with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30–35 minutes, until tender.
  3. Toss chopped apples with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Spread on a separate baking sheet or oven-safe dish. Roast for 15–20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. When the squash is done, use a fork to scrape out the strands into a large mixing bowl.
  5. Gently fold in the roasted apples and any pan juices. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Serve warm as a side or light main dish.

Notes

Add toasted pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.

Sprinkle with shredded cheddar or vegan cheese for a richer bake.

Swap cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice for a more autumnal flavor.

Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for extra warmth.

Use butternut squash for a sweeter, denser alternative.
