For the slaw:

Instructions

1. Roast the Squash

  • Spread in a single layer on a lightly oiled or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden brown.

2. Prepare the Slaw

  • Shred the carrots, finely slice the green onions, and chop the cilantro.

  • Add lime juice, 1 Tbsp oil, and ½ Tbsp taco seasoning; mix well.

3. Season the Beans
