Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups kale, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 40-45 minutes until tender.
  2. While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Add the chickpeas and kale to the skillet. Cook until the kale is wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  4. Once the squash is done, use a fork to scrape out the spaghetti-like strands. Add the squash to the skillet and toss to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  5. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
