Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Place the acorn squash halves, cut-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork, approximately 30 minutes. (Bake time: 30 minutes)

04

Step

While the squash is baking, in a saucepan, bring the water and vegetable soup base to a boil over medium-high heat. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Stir in the Israeli couscous and minced garlic, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until all the water has been absorbed, about 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

06

Step

In a separate skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, leek, and finely chopped red bell pepper. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

07

Step

Sauté the vegetables until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

08

Step

Add the cooked couscous to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables and mix well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

09

Step

Remove the baked squash from the oven and carefully stuff each half with the couscous-vegetable mixture. Serve immediately. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try using vegetable broth instead of water and bouillon.
Add a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts or chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables such as zucchini, carrots, or spinach.
For a non-vegan option, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
