I have been getting a lot of requests lately for vegetarian recipes...but I wanted to find things that you can enjoy at the holidays or just good old comfort food to eat while it's cold outside. I thing this one fits the bill in both categories!
Acorn Squash with Walnuts and Cranberries
Ingredients
- 1 Acorn Squash, cut in half
- ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- ½ cup cranberries, frozen or fresh
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter or butter substitute
Instructions
- Turn your oven to 375F.
- Combine walnuts, cranberries and brown sugar. Toss to combine.
- Cut each acorn squash in half. Remove and discard seeds.
- Split the mixture between two halves of the squash. Top with 1/2 tablespoon butter each half.
- Place in a baking dish, loosely cover with foil and bake in a for 1 hour 15 minutes, to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until fork inserted into the squash goes in easily.
- Remove from the oven, place on a plate and serve right away.
To eat:
With
each spoonful try to catch a little bit of everything, the walnuts, the
cranberries and some of the syrup built up at the bottom of the squash.
If it is not sweet enough, add a spoon of honey. Enjoy!
