Ingredients

  • 2 large acorn squash cut in half with seeds removed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil divided
  • 4 celery ribs chopped
  • 2 red apple chopped
  • 2 scallion diced
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary diced
  • 8 ounces instant brown rice
  • 8 ounces cooked brown lentils
  • 1/4 cup chopped unsalted pecans
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Place the squash on a parchment lined baking sheet and drizzle each half with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Flip the squash so it’s flesh side down and bake for 40-45 minutes or until it’s tender.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the celery, apple, scallion and rosemary and cook until fragrant (about 3-4 minutes). Add the brown rice and lentils, pecans, raisins and salt. Cook for additional 3-4 minutes, then set aside.
  4. When the squash is done, spoon the rice mixture into each open half. Serve immediately.
