Make

Heat oven to 400F (204C) degrees. Line sheet pan with foil and brush with some cooking oil. Place squash, cut-side up on half the sheet pan. Bake until squash is beginning to turn golden brown, ~25 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a small saucepan with oil over medium heat. When oil begins to shimmer, add chorizo and saute until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onions and garlic and saute until soft, ~3 minutes. Add tomatoes (including liquid) and cook until half the liquid has cooked off, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with some salt and pepper.
Toss broccoli with garlic and oil and season with salt and pepper. Remove sheet pan from the oven and scatter broccoli on the open half of the pan. Return to the oven and continue baking until broccoli and squash are both tender, 20 to 25 minutes. (Total cooking time for squash should be about 45 minutes.)
Remove squash and broccoli from oven. Use a spoon or fork to shred squash strands, leaving them inside the squash. Add tomato sauce a bit at a time, tossing to combine with squash strands. Squeeze lemon juice over broccoli.
Serve spaghetti squash with broccoli on the side and enjoy!
