Ingredients
  • Squash:
  • 1 large acorn squash
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated (or 1 to 2 teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
  • Spinach:
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Pinch of Himalayan pink salt
  • Dash of black pepper
  • 4 cups spinach
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Slice your acorn squash in half from the stem to the tip. Remove the seeds with a spoon. Add the coconut oil, ginger, cinnamon, and salt to the flesh of the squash. Bake for 1 hour until the flesh of the squash is golden brown and begins to caramelize.
  2. While the squash is baking, prepare the spinach. Add the coconut oil to a sauté pan and add the chopped onion. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes until onions are translucent and then add the garlic and cook until fragrant, making sure the garlic doesn't burn. Add in your spinach and sauté for another 3-5 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the pan and serve inside the acorn squash. Sprinkle with salt before serving.
