How to Prepare Asian Pear and Persimmon Stuffed Acorn Squash [Vegan]

  1. Preheat oven to 400˚F. Cut acorn squash in half and scoop out seeds. Spray or run with olive oil and sprinkle with cinnamon and salt. Place face down on a baking sheet and roast for 35 minutes, or until tender. You should be able to through the skin easily with a fork.
  2. In the last 5 minutes of roasting the squash, add the bread cubes to the same pan (if you have room) in a single layer and toast for 5-7 minutes. Otherwise, wait until squash is done and place bread cubes on the same pan.
  3. While the squash is roasting, heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add persimmon and pear and allow to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in remaining ingredients, including the toasted bread cubes and cover. Cook for another 7-10, until the fruit is soft, but the vegetables and bread are still a bit crisp. Stuff acorn halves with mixture and serve.
