Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Chickpeas
Can I get it a hip-hip-hooray for healthy yet delicious, satisfying dinners?
I’ll be the first to admit that I usually don’t by the ‘healthy substitutes’. Because in my mind, if something is good, there’s no reason to substitute.
But this is a good one! Even for me 🙂
I used Simple Truth Organic Ingredients to create this recipe! I have used their product line for a few years and was excited for the opportunity to create a recipe featuring the products.
