Instructions

  • Wash and cut squash in half. Scoop out the seeds and place on a pan with the cut side up. Brush olive oil and maple syrup onto each half. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Roast in a preheated 350F degree oven until tender, about 20 – 30 minutes.
  • Place wild rice in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil, then simmer and cook until 1/3 of the rice opens, about 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a hot pan and sauté onions, celery and garlic until tender. Remove from pan and place in a large bowl; add the remaining ingredients: fresh thyme, dried cranberries, salt, black pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, as well as the cooked wild rice. Mix to incorporate. Stuff into cooked acorn squash (each will hold about 1/2 cup of stuffing).
