Stuffed Kabocha Squash Bowls

Plant Protein Power Bowls: Packed with protein and fiber and color, plant power bowls are trendy and delicious. Show us what’s in your bowl.

I haven’t made anything with kabocha since the Spiced Kabocha Shepherd’s Pie I made with my friend a couple years back. To commemorate my living in a place with food options, I figured I’d get one again and attempt to make something cool with it — in the form of these stuffed kabocha squash bowls (seems perfect for autumn!).

As it turns out, my never-ending quest to use up all edible substances is a long and arduous task (partly because I’ve been somewhat lacking in inspiration), but I decided to do a “kitchen dump” recipe of sorts, and use whatever I had in my apartment and these happened!

The recipe is super versatile–you can pretty much throw in whatever you want to eat your kabocha with in here, so hooray for the perfect fall meal? :D? I had some hemp oil that I got from last year’s Choctoberfest and have been curious as to what that tastes like, so I figured I’d try using it in here!

Prep Time7 minutes mins

Cook Time1 hour hr

Course: Main Course

Keyword: healthy, vegetarian

Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

• 1 kabocha squash cut in half + seeds removed
• 1/4 yellow onion diced
• 1/4 cup mushrooms diced
• 1/4 cup baby carrots chopped
• 1/4 cup apples diced
• 1/4 cup multigrain stuffing with cranberries
• 4 oz. extra firm tofu cubed
• 1 tbsp hemp oil
• 1 tsp thyme
• sprinkle of sea salt
• sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Line baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Cut kabocha squash in half. If they're wobbly, you can slice the rounded bottom off so it'll stand up straight. Arrange the halves cut-side-up onto the baking sheet.
• Add mixture of onions, mushrooms, carrots, apples, tofu, salt and pepper. Top each kabocha bowl with multigrain stuffing and drizzle with hemp oil.
• Bake for ~1 hour, or until tender.

Notes

This would probably work with most autumn squashes! :]
