Cómo preparar Brown Rice Veggie Stuffed Acorn Squash

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut each acorn squash in half crosswise. Scoop out and discard seeds and strings.
If necessary, trim the bottom of each squash half to create a flat base for even cooking. Place cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet.
Sprinkle each squash half with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg.
Cover with foil and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
While the squash is baking, prepare the filling. In a large skillet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic (if using) and 1/2 cup chopped celery. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup chopped carrots. Cover and cook for 3 minutes.
Stir in 1/2 cup dried cranberries, 1 teaspoon fresh sage, 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Add 2 cups cooked brown rice and mix well to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat.
Fill the center of each baked acorn squash half with the rice mixture.
Return the squash to the oven, covered with foil, for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil, top each squash half with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake uncovered for 5 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
