Enchilada Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Bowls

This recipe for Enchilada Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Bowls is packed full of flavor and loaded with anti-inflammatory vegetables. It’s obviously grain-free and vegetarian adaptable, perfect for meat eaters and plant-based diets alike.



Enchilada Stuffed Spaghetti Squash 

I cut my squash lengthwise, as to allow for more surface area for roasting. My typical mixture is comprised of fresh corn, black beans, peppers, cheese and enchilada sauce. Other healthy ideas are to add lean ground meat or chicken. 

Keep it vegetarian or vegan with vegan cheese, quinoa, jalapeños or tomatoes…Veggies can be hearty, flavorful, and satisfying without leaving you with that “too full” feeling.

Spaghetti squash is a delicious gluten-free option to pasta or tortillas. Hopefully, you won’t miss either. I’m sure you won’t miss the bloating or allergic reacting to the gluten 😉

Why I love this dish


Spaghetti Squash



Spaghetti squash is packed with vitamin C, vitamin B6, betacarotene and fiber.  It is great for immunity and energy.



Black Beans



Black beans are actually a legume.  Just like peanuts, peas, and lentils.  Their high protein and fiber content make them a great food for muscle recovery and bone health.



Red Bell Peppers



Red peppers are an excellent source of vitamins A and C. Each half cup of raw red pepper provides you with 47% of your daily recommended intake of Vitamin A and 159% of your vitamin C, making these a powerful antioxidant super food.



Garlic

Garlic, a plant of the onion family, contains compounds with potent medicinal properties. Garlic is low in calories and rich in vitamin C, vitamin B6 and manganese. It also contains trace amounts of various other nutrients such as calcium, copper, potassium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamin B1.
