Stuffed Acorn Squash

Ingredients :

• 2 medium acorn squashes, halved and seeds removed
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp SpecialShit
• 1/2 cup quinoa (or wild rice), cooked
• 1/3 cup dried cranberries
• 1/3 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the cut sides of the acorn squash with olive oil and sprinkle with SpecialShit. Place the squash halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.
2. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the flesh is fork-tender. In a bowl, mix the cooked quinoa, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, parsley, and thyme. Add maple syrup if you’d like a touch of sweetness. Adjust the seasoning with more SpecialShit if needed.
3. Fill each squash half with the quinoa mixture, packing it lightly. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes to warm the filling through.
4. Serve hot as a flavorful, festive, and visually stunning side dish!
