I like it Hot and Healthy, so if you’re into spice and like to eat your veggies, this one is sure to please.  Makes a great vegetarian snack or addition to any main dish.  

Ingredients

1 medium sized Spaghetti Squash

Spicy Lime Vinaigrette:

Juice from 2 limes
1 Tbsp olive oil
4 chile peppers, minced (small, dried, red hot peppers are best)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Heat squash in microwave for 5 minutes on high to soften the squash for cutting.
Cut in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds.
Lay flat side down in a 9 x 13 glass baking dish and add 1/2 inch of water
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until tender.
Scoop out squash into a bowl.

Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl and drizzle the Spicy Lime Vinaigrette on top of the squash. Stir it around before serving. Serve with a main dish or enjoy as a snack. This is one hot and spicy dish!
