Ingredients
- Knorr Selects Asiago Cheese & Cracked Black Pepper Rice
- 2 sweet potatoes peeled and chopped
- 2 to 3 small acorn squash halved and seeded
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 apple chopped
- 1 avocado pitted, peeled, and chopped
- pepita seeds optional
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Drizzle sweet potatoes and squash halves with a little olive oil and use your fingertips to rub inside of the squash.
- Sprinkle potatoes and squash halves generously with salt and pepper.
- Set the acorn squash halves cut-side down and sweet potatoes on a baking sheet.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until tender.
- Meanwhile, pour Knorr Selects into a medium saucepan. Add water, milk, and butter to the saucepan.
- Give it a stir. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium and boil uncovered for 10 minutes, while stirring frequently, until your rice is tender and sauce is creamy.
- Turn off the heat at least 2 minutes for the sauce to thicken. Stir in roasted sweet potatoes and apples.
- Fill each roasted acorn squash half with rice mixture.
- Garnish with avocado, pepitas, and cilantro.
Notes
- You can use normal, well seasoned cooked rice or leftover ristotto instead of the Knorr rice for this recipe.
