1 small butternut squash, peeled, halved, and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tsp Aleppo chili flakes (or more if you want it hotter – this is tame)
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 orange bell pepper, chopped
1 (14.5-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 1/2 cups cooked or 3 (15.5-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup apple juice (I used 300 mL)
4 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
3 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
salt and freshly ground black pepper
