Serves: 4
Ingredients
1 medium squash, any type, halved lengthwise and seeds removed
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 cup celery, diced
3 tablespoons oil
1 cup whole wheat or plain bread crumbs
1/2 cup cheese, shredded
Directions
- To easily cut winter squash, follow these steps:
- Poke multiple holes/slits in the squash with a fork or tip of a knife (this helps the air release as the squash heats up)
- Microwave on high for about 3 minutes
- After the squash has cooled down enough to touch, cut the squash in half lengthwise avoiding the stem
- Clean out the squash by removing the seeds
- Cook onions, garlic, sage, thyme, and celery in oil. Cook over low heat until onions are soft.
- Add bread crumbs. Continue to cook over low heat for 5 -10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and mix in the cheese.
- Pack stuffing into the cleaned out squash. Bake, covered, at 350°F for 40 – 50 minutes.
