Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (well-drained if using frozen)
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 slices of bacon (diced; can substitute with turkey bacon or smoked tofu)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)

    • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and halve the butternut squash lengthwise, scooping out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 40-50 minutes until tender.
  • Cook diced bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, around 5-7 minutes, then set aside, leaving drippings.
  • In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and spinach until the spinach wilts, about 3-4 minutes. Return bacon to the skillet, stir in feta and oregano.
  • Once the squash is cooked, turn it over so the flesh faces up, and fill each half with the mixture, pressing down gently.
  • Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
