Stuffed Delicata Squash Recipe

A simple, warm, and nourishing dish with delicata squash. Delicata squash is tender in texture and flavor, making it a nice squash to stuff as you scoop a little bit of squash along with rice.

Ingredients

• 2 Small Delicata Squash
• Avocado Oil
• Jasmine Rice
• Parsley
• 2 Carrots
• 1/4 Onion
• Chili Flakes
• Nutritional Yeast
• Hazelnuts

Instructions

1. You can prepare rice the day before and heat it up or cook it the same time. I like to have some things ready in advance, so I made the rice the day before, and I made two cups, since I'll use the rest of the rice for other things later.
2. Make rice according to package instructions. One cup of dry rice should be enough.
3. Once the rice is cooked, sauté diced carrots and chopped onions. Add peas if you have them. Once cooked, add the rice to the pan, and mix.
4. Add freshly chopped parsley and mix with the rice.
5. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
6. Slice the tips off of the delicata squash so that the ends are flat. Then stand it up straight and slice through the center.
7. Spoon out the seeds of the squashes.
8. lightly coat the insides with avocado oil. Then flip the squashes over and place them flat down on a baking dish.
9. Bake for about 25 minutes, and remove the dish from the oven.
10. Turn them over and add warm rice to the insides of each squash half. Then chop and toast up some hazelnuts and spinkle them on top. Add a few sliced cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle with nutritional yeast and chili flakes.
