Stuffed Acorn Squash

Servings:6

Ingredients:

3 acorn squash — halved, seeds removed, placed flesh side down on a cookie sheet

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves of garlic, peeled

1 cup of black beans

6 tablespoons of goat cheese

1 can of diced tomatoes

1 pinch of garlic salt

Directions:

Heat oven to 350. Roast squash and garlic for 45-50 minutes, drizzled with olive oil. Using tongs, place flesh side up in a casserole dish. Fill with cheese, beans, tomatoes, and sprinkle of garlic salt. Split roasted garlic among the six halves. Place back in the oven for 5 minutes to warm. Optional — use diced tomatoes with jalapenos, or top with salsa.

Healthy, easy and bright. So many great colors on a plate — and a lovely way to make your home smell like Fall’s roasted vegetables.

Reviews:

“Damn good.”

“What chipmunks would eat on vacation in Mexico. Acorns meets Acapulco.” (Okay, I made that up. But it is my review!)
