Fody's Maple Dijon Stuffed Kabocha Squash Ingredients:
- 1 small kabocha squash
- 2 Tbsp Fody Garlic-Infused Olive Oil (divided)
- 1/2 cup brown rice, dry
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 2 Tbsp dried cranberries
- 20 pecan halves
- 1/4 cup Fody Maple Dijon Dressing
- Fresh thyme, to garnish
- Salt + pepper, to taste
Directions for Fody's Maple Dijon Stuffed Kabocha Squash
Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Cut squash in half (through the stem). Then, cut a small section off the bottoms of each half so that your squash will sit up straight! Remove seeds, then brush insides with 1 Tbsp of Garlic-Infused Olive Oil, salt, and pepper.
Place squash face side up on baking sheet and transfer to oven for about 40 mins, or until squash is fork tender.
Meanwhile, cook brown rice according to package directions.
When rice is cooked, stir in kale, dried cranberries, and remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove squash from oven and evenly spoon rice mixture into squash halves. Return to oven for 10 minutes.
Spread pecans on a separate baking dish and place in oven for 7-10 minutes, or until fragrant (but not burnt!)
Remove everything from oven. Drizzle Maple Dijon Dressing on top of squash, then garnish with toasted pecans and fresh thyme. Serve and enjoy hot!
