Ingredients
Roasted spaghetti squash
- 2 medium spaghetti squash (about 2 pounds each), halved and seeds removed
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
Cabbage and black bean slaw
- 2 cups purple cabbage, thinly sliced and roughly chopped into 2-inch long pieces
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/3 cup chopped green onions, both green and white parts
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 to 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice, to taste
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
Avocado salsa verde
- 3/4 cup mild salsa verde, either homemade or store-bought
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro (a few stems are ok)
- 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 medium garlic clove, roughly chopped
- optional garnishes: chopped fresh cilantro, seasoned toasted pipits (not shown)
directions
- To roast the spaghetti squash: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up. On the baking sheet, drizzle the halved spaghetti squash with olive oil. Rub the olive oil all over each of the halves, adding more if necessary.
- Sprinkle the insides of the squash with freshly ground black pepper and salt. Turn them over so the insides are facing down. Roast for 40-60 minutes, until the flesh is easily pierced through with a fork.
- Meanwhile, to assemble the slaw: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, black beans, bell pepper, green onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil and salt. Toss to combine and set aside to marinate.
- To make the salsa verde: In the bowl of a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, salsa verde, cilantro, lime juice and garlic.Blend until smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary.
- To assemble, first use a fork to separate and fluff the flesh of the spaghetti squash. Then divide the slaw into each of the spaghetti squash “bowls,” and add a big dollop of avocado salsa verde. Finish the bowls with another sprinkle of pepper, cilantro, and optional pepitas.
