Spaghetti Squash Burrito Bowls
Dec 07, 2024 01:19 PM
Man alive! Monday snuck up on me after a weekend away. (Park City, Utah—have you been? It’s my new favorite mountain town.) No amount of black coffee or dark chocolate peanut butter cups have managed to wake me up from my post-trip fog, but I created this totally epic burrito bowl recipe for you. Let’s get to it.
Basically, all you do is roast some spaghetti squash until it’s tender and caramelized on the edges. While the squash is in the oven, you’ll have plenty of time to toss together a simple, colorful red cabbage slaw. It has lots of lime and some black beans for protein. Then, blend up some salsa verde with avocado for a creamy sauce that completes the dish.
These bowls are so simple and crazy delicious. Make them for dinner tonight?
