Pizza Acorn Squash


Got another easy recipe for ya! Also happens to be vegetarian-friendly.
This one does take much longer to cook than things I normally make, but it's good if you just wanna throw something in the oven to have for later.

I cut a fresh acorn squash in half (really difficult with a disposable plastic knife as it turns out; I don't recommend), and scooped out the seeds.

I then took a single clove of garlic from a fresh garlic bulb, peeled it, and chopped it into little pieces.
I split the chopped garlic, sprinkling some on each half of the squash. Added a sprinkle of pepper, and placed both halves into a tin foil pan. I covered the pan with a sheet of tin foil, and put it into the oven.

I think I had my oven (a small roaster one) set to about 325 degrees, and I left the squash in there to bake for approximately 4-5 hours.

Later (when I was beginning to want some dinner), I added a little bit of fat-free marinara sauce (probably around 1/4 cup; but it really depends on your preference) to each half of the squash, filling the hollow that I'd made from scooping the seeds out.

Over the sauce, I sprinkled mozzarella cheese (how much depends on your preference, again).

I let it bake again, this time at 350 degrees, for probably about 15-20 minutes.

Voila, pizza acorn squash! Quite yummy, and a fun twist on regular pizza
