Spicy Spaghetti Squash with Black Beans

Spaghetti squash is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin B6, and manganese. It is a fair source of niacin, pantothenic acid, and potassium. I made a delicious dish yesterday using spaghetti squash with beans..Here is the recipe!

• 1 medium spaghetti squash  
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
• 1 jalapeño chili, seeded, minced
• 1/2 cup red pepper, or green chopped
• 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained well
• 1 tomatoe 
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin 
• 1/3 cup cilantro, minced
• 1 tablespoon lime juice 
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

Start by roasting the spaghetti squash. First, cut it in half. 

Use a sharp knife to cut.

I put a little bit of olive oil garlic and sprinkle with salt ,pepper

Place squash face down in a baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees F for 35-40 minutes.



For the filling, heat oil in a large pan and sauté onion, jalapeño and red pepper for 2 minutes. 

Add beans, tomato, cumin and chili powder; saute 1 minute longer.

When the squash is finished roasting, scoop the flesh from the shell.

Add cooked squash, cilantro, lime juice and salt to pan; cook 1 minute until heated through. Fill squash halves with filling, mounding mixture in the center

This was so yummy!!!
