An easy and delicious way to get good nutrition and fiver. It's looks good for a homey get-together. You would enjoy this dish even if you are not vegan.
Directions
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Halved and seeded the acorn. Brush the squash halves all over with oil. TIP: If you are looking for an extra flavor, you may use orange juice and/or maple syrup instead of the oil. You may also sprinkle with salt and pepper if you like.
Place the acorn, the cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Bake until very tender, about 40 minutes. TIP: Alternatively, you can microwave the squash until tender, 5 to 6 minutes, turning halves frequently. Then, let them rest 5 minutes after cooking.
Meanwhile, prepare the pilaf according to the package directions. When cooked, remove a half (about 1 1/4 cups) and set aside for another meal.
Toss the remaining pilaf with the chopped cranberries and pecans.
Spoon pilaf into squash halves.
