Twice Baked Squash
Ingredients:
1 Acorn Squash
1/2 Red Pepper
1/2 cup zucchini, chopped
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup mushrooms, diced
1 cup rice (brown) or quinoa
2 tsp coconut oil
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut squash in half and place upside down on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes or until fork tender. Let cool.
Remove seeds. Then scoop out the squash and place in a small mixing bowl. Add rice or quinoa. Be sure to save the squash skins for later and place them in a shallow baking dish.
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over a medium heat. Add onions, zucchini and peppers. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and continue cooking another 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and add to squash mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Using a fork, mix veggies and squash until all ingredients are combined.
Place half the squash mixture back in each skin. Top each half with half the grated cheese. Then bake another 30 minutes and the cheese starts to brown.
