Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small spaghetti squash
  • 1 small zucchini, diced
  • 1/2 bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, diced
  • 3/4 cup cooked black beans
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 2 ounces shredded cheese
  • Olive oil, salt, and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a baking sheet.
  2. Microwave the spaghetti squash for 4-5 minutes to soften. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds.
  3. Season the squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper; place cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake for 30-45 minutes until fork-tender.
  4. While the squash is baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper until softened (8-10 minutes).
  5. Stir in black beans, corn, and salsa; mix well and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Scrape spaghetti strands from the squash and combine them with half of the cheese in the skillet mixture.
  7. Fill each squash half generously with the filling and top with remaining cheese.
  8. Bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes until everything is warmed through and melty; broil for an additional minute to brown the cheese.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
