Roasted Juicy Acorn Squash image

No Salt or butter required. Healthy and Delicious! Once roasted, squash is terrific for casseroles, soups, and a great side dish by itself. After squash is cooked, remove from skin, puree and save for the next day's casserole.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 acorn squash (or butternut squash)
2 onions, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons pepper
2 tablespoons Mrs. Dash seasoning mix

Steps:

  • Chop onions, celery, bell pepper, and mix together with pepper and Mrs. Dash Seasoning Bland in a large bowl.
  • Slice each squash in half. Place face up on a cutting board and scoop out the seeds with the edge of a spoon (Note: you can discard seeds, wash, then roast at 400 for about 20 minutes for a healthy snack later).
  • Spray a roasting pan and line with tin foil to protect pan. Place squash, seeds removed, face-up on a rack in a baking pan. Spritz with a bit of water.
  • Fill the pockets formed from removal of seeds with chopped celery, bell pepper, and onions. Sprinkle with a bit more black pepper and Mrs. Dash Original Seasoning Blend, then spritz lightly with water again.
  • Bake at 350 for about 40 to 50 minutes until a fork easily pierces the squash interior.
  • Remove squash from skin before serving. You can make this recipe a day ahead, remove squash from skin, and store in fridge until ready to use.
