Balsamic Roasted Fennel And Acorn Squash Rice Casserole

Submitted by: admin on April 10, 2020

8 servings

Ingredients

1 acorn squash - cut in half lengthwise, seeded and cut into 12 wedges
1 large fennel bulb - trimmed, cored and cut into 8 pieces
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (6 ounce) box UNCLE BEN'S® Basmati Medley Savory Herb
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick foil.

Remove the skin from the squash with a vegetable peeler (if desired). Cut each wedge in half and place in a large bowl along with the fennel pieces.

Whisk the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Drizzle mixture over the squash and fennel; toss to coat. Transfer squash and fennel mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out to form a single layer.

Roast until squash is tender, about 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the rice as directed on the box. Mix the roasted squash and fennel with the rice. Transfer to a greased casserole dish. Top with the chopped parsley and keep warm until ready to serve.
