Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush the cut sides of 4 halved acorn squash (about 1 lb each) with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until tender.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large diced onion and 8 oz sliced mushrooms, cooking for 8 minutes until softened and golden. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 cup wild blueberries, 1 tsp chopped thyme, 1/2 cup vegetable broth, and 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar. Simmer for 5 minutes until blueberries burst and mixture thickens.
  4. Step 4: Remove squash from oven, flip to cut-side up, and fill with mushroom-blueberry mixture. Top with 1/4 cup chopped walnuts and 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese.
  5. Step 5: Return to oven for 5 minutes to melt cheese, then serve.
