Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Roasted Spaghetti Squash and Vegetables.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (205°C). Grab a large baking sheet and give it a light coat of cooking spray to prevent sticking. This is where the magic begins!
Step 2
Next, place the halved spaghetti squash and acorn squash cut-side down on the baking sheet. Don’t forget to add the whole sweet potato to the mix. It’s all going in the oven together!
Step 3
Let these beauties bake for about 45 minutes, or until the squash and sweet potato are tender enough to be pierced with a fork. The aroma will fill your kitchen, and you’ll know it’s almost time to dig in!
Step 4
Once they’re perfectly roasted, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (170°C) and prepare a 9x13 baking dish with another spritz of cooking spray. This will be the final resting place for your delicious creation.
Step 5
Now, take a fork and scrape the strands from the spaghetti squash, placing them in the prepared baking dish in an even layer. This is where the dish gets its name!
Step 6
In a large bowl, cut the sweet potato into bite-sized chunks and scoop out the flesh from the acorn squash. Add these to the bowl along with the baby carrots, diced onion, honey, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. This mixture is going to add a wonderful sweetness and depth of flavor!
Step 7
Transfer the colorful squash mixture over the spaghetti squash in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly. To finish it off, sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese generously over the top. Who doesn’t love a cheesy finish?
Step 8
Pop the baking dish back into the oven and let it bake at 350°F for about 45 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!
Step 9
Once it’s done, take it out and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this hearty, comforting dish that’s perfect for any meal!
