Southwestern Black Bean Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Instructions

1. Preheat to 400°F. Place squash cut-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for approximately 1 hour, until squash is tender.
2. While the squash is cooking, heat oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add peppers and mushrooms and sautée until soft, about 4 minutes.
3. Add diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and black beans, and simmer on low for approximately 20 minutes, while the squash continues to cook.
4. Once the squash is cool enough to handle, run a fork back and forth across the flesh of the squash. This will separate the flesh into spaghetti-like strings.
5. Spoon the vegetable filling into the squash boats, and mix the strands gently to combine. (Each squash boat serves 2).
