🧡 Why You’ll Love This Dish

Butternut squash is naturally sweet and velvety, making it the perfect vessel for bold, contrasting flavors. When you roast it to golden perfection and stuff it with a mixture of crispy bacon, wilted spinach, and crumbled feta cheese, the result is a symphony of textures and tastes. The rich umami from the bacon, the tangy creaminess of feta, and the earthiness of spinach all play beautifully against the squash’s soft sweetness.
