    1. I loved it, too. I had a bit of filling leftover from a half-batch and scarfed that for a midnight snack. 🙂 Delicious.

  1. How long and at what temp do you think you’d have cook this to do it in the oven? This looks fantastic, but I don’t have a grill.

    1. Put the veggie blend in a foil packet and the halved-squash around the packet on a cookie sheet and bake it at 400 for about 30 minutes.

      1. Thanks, sorry if I missed that in the direction the first time I read the recipe. The baby was nipping at my ankles as I was browsing for dinner ideas. Trying this out tonight with acorn squash. Thanks for the recipe!!
