Squash is one of the most recognizable vegetables in the fall and winter seasons. Perhaps it is the orange color that reminds us of fire and makes us warm, or the nutritional value and vitamins of this fantastic vegetable bind it to this time of the year. For whatever reason, there’s nothing like it when we want to cook a juicy, tasty, and colorful dish that will warm us up in the autumn chill.

Prep Time 1 hour and 15 minutes

Serves: 4

Difficulty Level: Low

Ingredients:

Butternut squashes - 2 (halved and cleaned of seeds)

Oil - 2 tbsp. (divided)

Salt - 1/2 tsp.

Ground black pepper - 1/2 tsp.

Head of kale - 1 (stems removed and chopped)

Oregano - 1 tbsp. (chopped)

Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans) - a 15-ounce can (rinsed and drained)

Orange zest - of 1 large orange

Orange juice - of 1 large orange

Dried cranberries - 1/3 cup

Cauliflower - 3/4 cup (roughly chopped)

Garlic - 2 cloves (crushed)

Parmesan cheese - to taste (or feta)

Method of Preparation:

Heat your oven to 430°F (220°C).
Place the squash on a baking pan and drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the four halves of squash, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and bake in the oven for 40-55 minutes until its center is fork-tender. Remove from oven and lower temperature to 375°F (180°C).
While the squash is in the oven, heat a large pan over medium heat and pour the remaining olive oil into it.
When the oil is hot, add the kale and cook for about 4 minutes on medium to low heat. Add the oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and cook for about 30 seconds.
After 30 seconds add the chickpeas (garbanzo beans), orange zest, orange juice, cranberries, and garlic, and cauliflower to the pan and stir well.
Once cool, fill the squash halves with the beans mixture, sprinkle parmesan or feta cheese over them, and roast for about 10 minutes. Serve warm.
