Ingredients

Units Scale

Avocado oil for cooking

1 spaghetti squash

1 lb ground beef

2 bell peppers

1 medium onion

1 tsp garlic

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/8–1/4 tsp cayenne, to taste

Salt & pepper to taste

Toppings:

I made my own guacamole with a medium avocado, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 large juicy lime – I mixed it all together thoroughly then topped the stuffed squash with it (then also put some red pepper flakes on top!).

You could also top it with salsa, hot sauce, or sour cream!

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF
  2. Cut spaghetti squash in half and rub the inside with oil, then place face down on a baking sheet
  3. Cook squash for 30-60 minutes depending on the size. Mine was a small squash (30 oz) so it only took about 30 minutes. But most take closer to 40-55 mins to cook. You’ll know it’s done once you are able to easily scrape the “spaghetti” away from the sides of the skin. The spaghetti will also have some golden brown spots on it. After the squash is done cooking, keep it laying face down (this will keep it hot as you’re preparing the filling)
  4. Cook the bell peppers and onion with the seasonings and salt/pepper in a pan over medium heat with oil. Cook and stir for about 10 minutes.
  5. Add the ground beef and cook and stir for another few minutes until done.
  6. Once the filling is done, turn your spaghetti squash up, put some salt and pepper in it, then add your filling.
  7. Add desired toppings. Enjoy!
