Stuffed Acorn Squash

3/4/2025

0 Comments

 
Ingredients:
1 medium winter squash (about the size of a grapefruit or slightly larger), such as acorn, kabocha, red kuri, sweet dumpling, delicata, or spaghetti
2 to 3 cups filling (see below)Olive oilKosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

General amounts for filling — to equal 2 to 3 cups total:
  • 1/2 to 1 cup protein — ground sausage, ground beef, chicken, tempeh, or baked tofu
  • 1 to 2 cups vegetables — onions, mushrooms, zucchini, peppers, greens
  • 1/2 cup cooked grains and/or nuts — barley, quinoa, millet, farro, rice, walnuts, almonds, pecans
  • 1/2 to 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 to 3 teaspoons herbs or spices

Directions:
Arrange a rack in the lower-middle position of the oven and heat to 375°F. Cut the squash in half from stem to root. Scoop out the seeds.

Place the squash halves cut-side-down in a baking dish and pour in enough hot water to fill the pan by about 1/4 inch. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.

Roast the squash until very soft and tender when poked with a fork or paring knife, 30 to 50 minutes. Exact roasting time will depend on the size and variety of your squash. While the squash is roasting, prepare the filling.

Depending on the size of your squash, 2 to 3 cups of combined ingredients is usually sufficient. You can combine leftovers from other meals (cooked chicken, roasted vegetables, etc.) or you can prepare a fresh filling. Cook any raw meats and raw vegetables and combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Taste and adjust the spices, salt, and pepper to your liking.

Flip the cooked squash halves so they form bowls. Rub the inside with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide the filling between the halves — it's fine to really stuff the wells and also to mound the filling on top.

Cover again with the foil. Roast until heated through and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Top with extra cheese if desired and serve immediately.

Savory Herb Roasted Acorn Squash

3/4/2025

0 Comments

 
Ingredients:
1 large acorn squash (or 2 small acorn squash)
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese (+ more for garnishing)
2–3 tablespoons fresh herbs OR 1 teaspoon dried herbs (suggest thyme, sage, rosemary, oregano, or a mix of these)
1 tablespoon butter, melted*
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon fine salt (+ more for taste)
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. 
  2. Line one large (or two medium-sized) baking sheets with parchment paper. 
  3. Cut the acorn squash in half, from stem to tip, and scoop out the seeds. Then, cut each squash half into ½-inch thick moon-shaped slices.
  4. In a bowl, combine the Parmesan, herbs, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well mixed.
  5. Spread the acorn squash pieces out onto the prepared baking sheet(s). 
  6. Using your hands, gently press half of the Parmesan mixture onto one side of each squash piece for maximum coverage (it’s OK if a little falls off). Flip each piece of squash and repeat with the remaining Parmesan mixture.
  7. Bake until the acorn squash pieces are tender and the Parmesan topping is crispy and slightly browned (about 25 minutes).
  8. If desired, garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and herbs.
  9. Use a flat spatula to lift each acorn squash slice off of the baking dish and onto a serving tray or dinner plates.
