Ingredients
  

Acorn Squash

  • 2 acorn squash cut in half and deseeded (about 1350g)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
  • Salt & black pepper
  • Ground cinnamon

Filling

  • ½ cup (104g) farro, dry
  • ¼ cup (28g) slivered almonds
  • ¼ cup (40g) sweetened and dried cranberries
  • 1 cup (42g) kale, chopped
  • 2 field roast Italian sausage (about 180g), chopped
  • 3 tbsp (45g) vegan parmesan
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme plus more for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cook the farro according to package directions. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F (206°C).
  • Prepare the squash by cutting the stem and pointy bottom off. Then carefully cut in half. Use a spoon to scoop out seeds and insides. This is where filling will go, so make sure it is scooped out well. Cover the outside and inside with olive oil. Then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
  • Roast in oven for 25 minutes.
  • Once the farro is done cooking add the remaining filing ingredients into the pot and mix together. Nothing needs to be cooked as it will cook in the oven.
  • Once acorn squash are done remove from oven and carefully add filling to the middle.
  • Place back in the oven and bake for 25 more minutes or until crispy and filling is warmed through.
  • Garnish with more fresh thyme and enjoy.
