Prep: 15 minutes
Yields: 4 servings
Let’s head over to the recipe aisle and dive into the world of spaghetti squash, shall we?
Today, we’re talking about a game-changing vegan recipe that’s perfect for a cozy fall or winter weeknight dinner. Say hello to Spaghetti Squash with Chickpeas and Kale!

This recipe is a total winner, and it’s all about simplicity. We’re talking roasted spaghetti squash strands, lightly tossed with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and a squeeze of lemon. Then, we add some protein-packed chickpeas and kale to make it a full meal. And let’s not forget the toasted pine nuts for crunch!
Sun-dried tomatoes add a nice pop of flavor, but feel free to get creative and add your favorite briny ingredients – freshly roasted tomatoes, capers, or maybe some chopped kalamata olives.

Now, let’s talk about cooking the spaghetti squash. You want to get those strands nice and al dente, so make sure to roast it in the oven until it’s tender but still has a bit of bite. Then, use a fork to shred it into strands.
In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about a minute, until fragrant. Then, add the chickpeas and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they’re lightly browned.

Add the kale to the skillet and cook until it’s wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Then, add the roasted spaghetti squash strands, sun-dried tomatoes, and toasted pine nuts. Toss everything together until it’s well combined.
Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve hot and enjoy!
