Directions 👩‍🍳

1️⃣ Prep the squash: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the cut sides of the butternut squash with 2 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 35-40 minutes or until tender.

2️⃣ Sauté the spinach: While the squash is roasting, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

3️⃣ Stuff the squash: Once roasted, flip the squash halves cut-side up. Scoop out a small amount of flesh to create a cavity for the filling. Divide the sautéed spinach evenly among the halves. Top with crumbled feta cheese and bacon bits.

4️⃣ Broil to perfection: Sprinkle with dried rosemary or thyme, if using. Place the stuffed squash back in the oven under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the feta is golden and slightly melted.

5️⃣ Serve and enjoy: Serve warm as a hearty main or a comforting side dish.
