Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line one large or two medium rimmed cookie sheets with parchment paper or foil.
- Lop off the top of the spaghetti squash and cut it in half lengthwise. With a spoon, scrape out the seeds. Brush the cut side of each half with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Dust with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place cut-side down on cookie sheet(s) and bake until tender and the squash can easily be pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. You can also microwave the spaghetti squash if you need dinner on the table faster. Here's how to cook spaghetti squash in the microwave, along with full instructions on prepping and cooking it both ways.
- While the spaghetti squash cooks, make the chili. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil into a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, green peppers, and oregano and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne and cook, stirring constantly, for one minute. Add the tomatoes and beans and stir to combine. Cook until it starts to bubble (be careful, it may splatter because it's so thick) then reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes, until heated through. Set aside.
- When spaghetti squash are done cooking, flip them over. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the cheese in the bottom of each half. Fill to the top with chili and top each with remaining cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, 20-25 minutes.
- Serve with assorted toppings.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Slice your spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. For easy cutting, feel free to stick each squash in the microwave for 3-5 minutes to soften it up just a tad (you can also stab it a few times to vent the steam which helps) - The knife slides through way easier this way!
- Next grab a lipped baking sheet or a rimmed baking dish.
- Rub the cut side of the squash with a teeny bit of olive oil.
- Place inside a baking dish or atop rimmed baking sheet and roast face-down for about 40 minutes, or until tender and easily pierced with a fork. Cooking time will vary a bit depending on the size of your squash, and larger squash will need to roast a bit longer to tenderize. Don't stress the timing too much since you can always bake it longer if needed. Once ready, the once rock-hard exterior of the squash will be visibly softened with a tender interior.
- While the squash roasts, warm up your chili.
- Once squash is done roasting, allow to cool until easily handled or pop on an oven mit and use a fork to separate and fluff the strands of spaghetti squash.
- Stir in your chili and top with shredded cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for around 15-20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
- For a golden cheesy topping, flip your oven to broil on high for just a minute or two until lightly browned.
- Add all your favorite chili toppings from the list above and dig in!

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Split spaghetti squash in half and scoop out seeds. Drizzle olive oil over the inside and rub to coat. Sprinkle sparingly with salt. Flip cut side down onto a baking sheet. Roast about 40 minutes or until the skin can be easily pierced with a fork. Don't overcook - you want those lovely strands of squash to be apparent. Overcooking will result in mush.
- 2. In a small bowl, combine chili powders, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic salt, and season salt.
- 3. In a skillet over medium high heat, add ground beef and break into pieces. Sprinkle with seasonings. Add chopped garlic and onion. Cook until seasonings are well distributed and meat is no longer pink, 6-8 minutes.
- 4. Add tomatoes, liquid smoke and black beans. Stir to incorporate. Cook until heated through, 6 minutes.
- 5. When squash is done, flip over on the baking sheet. A small ball of tin foil can be used to stabilize the squash so it doesn't tip.
- 6. Spoon 1/4 of the chili into each of the squash. Top each with 1/2 cup grated cheese. Place back into oven for approximately 8 minutes or until cheese is melty and delicious!
- 7. Remove from oven and plate. Top with sour cream, avocado and cilantro.
