Ingredients

Stuffed Delicata Squash

  • 4 Delicata squash, cut in 1/2 lengthwise

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 cup white rice

  • 2 jumbo eggs, beaten

  • 1 large yellow onion

  • 1/3 cup Gefen Maple Syrup

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle pepper

  • 1/2 tablespoon silan such as Heaven & Earth Date Syrup

  • 1/3 cup panko

  • chives, for garnish

Directions

Prepare the Stuffed Delicata Squash

1.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.

Cut squashes in half, scoop out the seeds and add to an oven-safe dish.

3.

Add the soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and chipotle pepper to a bowl and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into each delicata half. Add water to bottom of pan, then cover and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes, until squash is soft to touch.

4.

While squash cooks, put up rice to boil and chop the onion. Sweat the onion in a pan and, when translucent, add the silan and cook on medium-low until caramelized. If it starts to burn, just add a tablespoon of water to slow it down.

5.

Once onions and rice are done, combine with the ground beef and eggs. Season with salt and mix to combine.

6.

Remove squash from oven. Raise the oven temperature to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Stuff squash with the meat mixture and top with panko, then bake at 475 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes uncovered. Top with fresh chives.
