Mushroom Stuffed Acorn Squash
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 acorn squash, halved and seeds removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the acorn squash halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until tender.
- While the squash is roasting, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
- Once the squash is tender, remove it from the oven and carefully flip the halves over. Fill each squash half with the mushroom mixture, packing it down gently.
- Return the stuffed squash to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the mushroom stuffed acorn squash hot, and enjoy!
