Time 45m

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
4 small acorn squashes (each 1 to 1 1/4 pounds), halved lengthwise and seeded
6 cups Mixed-Grain Stuffing
Pomegranate Relish, for serving
Toasted slivered almonds and coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Brush a baking sheet with oil. Mix together 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, cumin, and coriander; sprinkle inside of squashes with spice mixture. Place squashes on sheet, cut-sides down, and roast until just tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Turn cut-sides up and fill with stuffing, mounding slightly (you should use about 3/4 cup in each squash half). These can be made ahead and refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day; bring to room temperature before baking. Bake, covered with parchment-lined foil, until heated through, about 15 minutes. Serve, with relish and sprinkled with toasted almonds and parsley.

I roasted the acorn squash a little too long and it got a little too soft for my taste.

This dish is a great make-ahead meal. You can roast the acorn squash and make the stuffing ahead of time and then just assemble and bake it when you're ready to serve.

I'm not a big fan of sage, so I used rosemary in my stuffing instead. It was still very flavorful.

I roasted the acorn squash for a little longer than the recipe called for and it came out perfectly caramelized.
