Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
-
Drizzle the cut sides of the squash with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender.
-
While the squash is roasting, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened.
-
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
-
Stir in the chickpeas and diced tomatoes. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Once the spaghetti squash is done roasting, use a fork to scrape the flesh into strands.
-
Add the spaghetti squash strands to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
-
Remove from heat and stir in fresh cilantro and lemon juice.
-
Serve hot and enjoy!
