Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F. If using a toaster oven select the “BAKE” setting and use the bottom rack placement. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line with a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Use a sharp knife to carefully stab the squash a few times on each side, then microwave 4 to 5 minutes. Watching out for steam, slice the squash in half and scoop out the seeds.

Step 3

Rub each half with oil and season well with salt and black pepper. Place squash on the pan and cook until fork-tender, about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of your squash.

Step 4

Remove squash from the oven and cool for at least 5 minutes. Then, scrape a fork along the flesh to create spaghetti-like strands (leave a little behind to keep the ‘bowl’ intact for stuffing later).

Step 5

Prepare Filling:

Step 6

While the squash cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, zucchini, bell pepper, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently until the vegetables have softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 7

Remove skillet from heat, add black beans, corn, and salsa. Stir well, taste, and adjust seasoning as desired.

Step 8

Assembly:

Step 9

Add the loose spaghetti strands and half of the cheese to the skillet mixture, stir well. Load up the squash bowls with the filing and top with the remaining cheese.

Step 10

Bake the bowls. Bake uncovered at 350°F until warmed through and melty, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.
