ROASTED ACORN SQUASH & BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Cut squash lengthwise into quarters; remove and discard seeds. Cut each quarter crosswise into 1/2-in. slices; discard ends. Trim and halve Brussels sprouts., Place squash and Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Transfer to 2 foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pans. Roast 30-35 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally., Meanwhile, in a dry large skillet, toast pecans over medium-low heat 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Add syrup and butter; cook and stir until butter is melted., Sprinkle vegetables with pecan mixture; gently toss to combine.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Pierce a spaghetti squash 8-10 times with a skewer or thin knife (pierce deeply through flesh into center). Place on a baking sheet on center rack of oven. Bake for 30 minutes and then turn 1/4 turn. Bake another 30 minutes or until outside has browned in places and shell feels soft. Remove from oven and set aside until cool enough to handle. Once it's cool, cut it in half and remove and discard the seeds and scrape the strands of squash out with a fork. Put the squash into a bowl and set aside.
• While the squash is cooking, prepare the Brussels sprouts. Trim and discard the ends and cut the sprouts in half (quarter larger sprouts). Place on a baking sheet and spray quickly (2 seconds) with olive oil. (This prevents burning; if you don't want to use the oil, cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil.) When the squash has finished cooking, put the sprouts into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove them when they are just beginning to be touched by brown but are not burning (they will finish cooking in the skillet in the next step).
• In a large, deep, non-stick skillet, cook the onions on medium-high heat until they become golden, about 5-6 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts, garlic, and vegetable broth and cover tightly. Cook for 3-5 minutes, adding more broth or water if skillet becomes dry. Add the chickpeas, basil, and red pepper flakes. Stir in the spaghetti squash, and toss gently to mix. Cook until heated through. Add salt and pepper to taste, along with lemon juice. Serve topped with crushed or sliced almonds, if desired.

SQUASH AND MUSHROOM MEDLEY

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the squash, zucchini and onion in butter until tender. Add the mushrooms, garlic, salt and pepper; saute 2-3 minutes longer or until heated through.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS-SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Grease an 8" x 8" baking dish and set aside.
• Clean and trim brussels sprouts. Cut large ones in half. Score each with an "x" underneath to help with even cooking.
• Steam brussels sprouts and squash separately until just tender. (Note: to save a pot, I started steaming the squash and then added the sprouts to the top of the same pot when the squash was half done and steamed them together; that worked out fine). Set squash and sprouts aside.
• While squash and sprouts cook, chop onion and mince celery. Saute onion in butter/margarine. Add milk and spices slowly, stirring to keep mixture smooth. Bring sauce to the boil, then remove from heat and taste to adjust seasonings if needed.
• In the 8" x 8" greased baking dish, arrange the squash cubes on bottom. Next, make an even layer of the brussels sprouts. Then, sprinkle the chopped celery over the top, pour the sauce over the whole thing and finish with a sprinkling of nutmeg.
• Bake in the 350F oven for 30 minutes or until the top is slightly browned (well, to your liking) and the sauce is bubbly.

ROASTED SUMMER SQUASH, ZUCCHINI, AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Oil a baking sheet.
• Place zucchini, summer squash, Brussels sprouts, and onion on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 25 minutes.

CAST-IRON SKILLET BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH SHRIMP AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine the rice with 2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Set the sauce aside.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil to the hot skillet, then swirl to coat the bottom entirely. Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, until the sprouts have developed a golden-brown crust, about 2 minutes. Toss the sprouts, then continue to cook until they're bright green and crisp tender, about 2 minutes.
• Add 1 more tablespoon of the vegetable oil to the skillet along with the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned in spots, about 2 minutes.
• Create space for the shrimp in the middle of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Lay the shrimp flat in a single layer and cook until the shrimp have turned pink and a light crust begins to form, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute.
• Pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, then toss until everything is evenly coated and the sauce has reduced slightly, about 1 minute.
• Divide the rice and Brussels sprout mixture between 2 serving bowls. Top with the scallions, drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
