SLOW COOKER CHANA MASALA WITH SPAGHETTI SQUASH
Chickpeas simmered with tomatoes and Indian spices, scooped over tender spaghetti squash for a complete meal. The best part? All of it - even the squash - all cooks together in the Crock Pot! So easy.

Steps:
- Set a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, ginger, cardamom, cumin, coriander, garam masala, cayenne powder, and salt. Cook, stirring, for one more minute.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until all of the spices have lifted from the bottom of the pan. Pour into the slow cooker.
- Add the chickpeas. Stir to combine.
- Lay the parchment paper over the top of the chana masala mixture, taking care to make sure the paper stays inside the slow cooker. You can skip this step. I like it because it helps keep the two separated a bit. Lay the spaghetti squash on top of the parchment paper (or chana masala), cut side down.
- Cook on low for about 8 hours, until the squash is fork-tender.
- Remove squash from slow cooker and let cool enough to handle. Scrape squash onto plates and pile with chana masala. Top with cilantro and a squeeze of lemon. If you eat dairy, you can also add a bit of plain yogurt if you like.
