For the squash
- 2 medium spaghetti squash (about 2 lb each), halved lengthwise and seeds removed
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- ½ tsp salt, divided
- ¼ tsp black pepper, divided
For the filling
- 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the squash halves cut-side up on a large baking sheet. Brush the cut surfaces with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and season with 1/4 tsp of the salt and 1/8 tsp of the black pepper.

Flip the squash halves cut-side down on the baking sheet. Roast for 35–45 minutes, until the skin yields easily when pressed and a fork pierces the flesh with no resistance.
