Superfood Stuffed Roasted Acorn Squashes (serves 8)

• 4 acorn squashes
• 1 lb ground chicken
• 2 cups chopped spinach
• 2 cups chopped kale
• 1 cup shredded brussel sprouts
• 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
• 2 bell peppers, medium diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 8 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
• salt and pepper, to taste
• chopped parsley, to garnish

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place all four squashes whole on a baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes, or until soft.

While the squashes are roasting, we are going to get started on the filling! Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Once hot, add in onions and garlic. Saute until translucent. Add in bell peppers, brussel sprouts, and shiitake mushrooms, and cook until softened. Add in spinach and kale, and continue cooking. Season with salt and pepper.

Once the squashes have finished roasting, remove from oven and let cool until it's cool enough to handle. Slice squashes in half. Fill each halve with filling and top with a slice of mozzarella cheese. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Garnish with fresh parsley, serve, and enjoy!!
