Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small spaghetti squash
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 small zucchini, diced
  • 1/2 bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3/4 cup cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels, drained
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 2 ounces cheese, shredded and divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Carefully stab the spaghetti squash multiple times, then microwave for 4-5 minutes. Cut it in half and scoop out the seeds.
  3. Rub olive oil on each half and season with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-45 minutes until fork-tender.
  4. Once cooled slightly, scrape the flesh with a fork to create spaghetti-like strands.
  5. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onion, zucchini, bell pepper, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper until softened (about 8-10 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and mix in black beans, corn, salsa, and half of the cheese.
  7. Fill the roasted squash halves with the mixture and top with remaining cheese.
  8. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes until warmed through. Broil for an additional 1-2 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
  9. Serve warm with desired toppings.
