Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 large acorn squash
  • 1 cup brewed green tea (such as Celestial Seasonings)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave nectar (see note in article above if you prefer a sweeter squash)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350º F.
  2. Slice the squash in half lengthwise, and remove and discard the seeds and stringy bits.
  3. Lay the squash cut sides down in a shallow baking pan. Pour the green tea over the squash and bake for 35 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
  5. Remove the squash from the oven and flip each half over. Pour the almond milk mixture over each half (into the wells) and return to the squash to your oven for another 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  6. Remove the squash from the oven, and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve warm, and with a little extra honey or agave, if desired.
