Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a bake sheet with cooking spray, place the squash on it, skin side down, and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes. You'll know once it's done when you can easily pierce the skin of the squash with a fork.

Once done, take out of the oven and let cool. Leave the oven on.

While the squash is cooling, prepare the filling. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the avocado oil and add in the onion. Let saute for 5 minutes stirring frequently.

Add in the garlic, black beans, bell pepper, jalapeno, chili powder, oregano, cumin, cayenne, and sea salt. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Add in the corn and cook until the corn is warmed all the way through. Take off of the heat.

Shred the flesh of the squash away from the skin and place on a cutting board. Set the skins of the squash aside to use in a minute. Chop lightly so that the strands of spaghetti squash are smaller (more closely resembling rice). Mix the spaghetti squash into the black bean mixture.

Re-stuff the skin of the squash with the squash/ black bean mixture. Top with the cheese and place back in the oven for ~5 minutes or until the cheese has fully melted.

Top with avocado and cilantro and ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Squash Thoroughly 💧
After roasting spaghetti squash, let it cool slightly then use a fork to scrape out the flesh and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, preventing soggy bowls.
Toast Your Spices First 🌶️
Bloom your cumin, chili powder, and oregano in the hot oil for 30 seconds before adding other ingredients to unlock deeper, more complex flavors that elevate the entire dish.
Prep All Vegetables Uniformly ✂️
Dice your bell peppers, red onions, and jalapeños into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly and distribute consistently throughout each bowl for balanced bites.
Layer Your Bowl Strategically 🥣
Place warm spaghetti squash at the base, then add beans and warm vegetables while hot so the heat slightly softens the avocado, then top with cold non-dairy cheese and fresh jalapeño for textural contrast.
Season Black Beans Separately 🫘
Warm your black beans in their own pan with garlic, cumin, and salt before adding to the bowl, ensuring they absorb seasoning fully rather than relying solely on the vegetable mixture for flavor.
