Spaghetti Squash Dish

Ingredients:
1 spaghetti squash
Mushrooms
Onions
Green peppers
Yellow peppers
Cilantro
Chickpeas (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the spaghetti squash thoroughly and cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard them.
Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Bake the squash in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the squash is baking, prepare the other ingredients:Slice the mushrooms. Chop the onions, green peppers, and yellow peppers into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and drain the chickpeas if using. Finely chop the cilantro.
In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat.
Add the mushrooms, onions, green peppers, and yellow peppers to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
If using chickpeas, add them to the skillet and cook until heated through.
Once the spaghetti squash is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Using a fork, scrape the flesh of the squash to create spaghetti-like strands. Transfer the strands to a serving dish.
Top the spaghetti squash with the sautéed vegetables and chickpeas.
Garnish with chopped cilantro.
