Ingredients
Fillings
- 2 medium spaghetti squashes
- 3 Tbsp olive oil divided, 45 mL
- ½ tsp each chili powder and cumin
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- ½ medium white onion sliced
- 1 15-oz can black beans drained, 425 g
- 1 15-oz can corn drained, 425 g
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese 125 g
- To serve: salsa, avocado, hot sauce
Sauce
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt 120 g
- 2 Tbsp adobo sauce from a jar of chipotle peppers
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Tbsp lime juice 15 mL
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the inside with 2 Tbsp of olive oil, then sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, and salt. Rub to evenly coat. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and prick the outside with a fork.
- Roast: Roast for about 30 minutes, or until fork tender but still a little firm. When finished, flip over and allow to cool enough to touch. Leave the oven on.
- Sauté: While squash cooks, heat the remaining 1 Tbsp of oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add pepper and onion, stirring and cooking until soft, about 15 minutes.
- Sauce: While squash cooks, also make your sauce by stirring together all sauce ingredients.
- Spaghettify: Use a fork to scrape strands from the inside of the spaghetti squash. Transfer strands to a separate bowl, leaving about ¼ inch of flesh in the squash to support your bowls.
- Assemble: Into the hollowed out squash bowls layer in sautéed pepper/onions, corn, beans, sauce, spaghetti squash strands, and cheese. Return to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
