Description

Creamy and sweet roasted acorn squash stuffed with a vegetarian Southwest-inspired black bean and corn mixture and topped with goat cheese. Can be served as a meal or side dish!

Ingredients

  • 2  Acorn Squash
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1  Red Bell Pepper, Seeded And Chopped
  • ½  Yellow Onion, Chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • ½  Jalapeno, Seeded And Diced
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Rinsed And Drained
  • 2 cups Frozen Corn Kernels
  • ½ cups Cilantro, Chopped
  • 1 whole Lime, Juiced
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 4 Tablespoons Crumbled Goat Cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Cut squash in half horizontally and scoop out seeds. Place the squash cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes or until squash is very soft and tender and edges begin to brown a bit. Turn oven off and leave squash in the oven while preparing filling.

Lightly heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, red pepper, onion, garlic, jalapeno; cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add in cumin, black beans and corn; stir well to combine and cook a couple more minutes. Remove from heat, stir in cilantro and lime juice in. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Fill the squash halves with black bean and corn mixture. Top each with a tablespoon of goat cheese. Dig in!

A very delicious side to leg of lamb. Didn’t have frozen corn so I substituted a can of creamed corn (as that is the only corn I had in my house) and it was fantastic. Will make again for sure!
