Kabocha squash has a sweeter taste than other squash. You may have some difficulty finding it in most grocery stores but when you do find it, I guarantee you’ll enjoy it. This double decker, multi-layer baked kabocha squash and Paleo ground beef recipe will help warm you up on a cool night and it will taste just as good cold, as leftovers, the next day.

I made a savory and a sweet variety of baked kabocha squash. The ones you see below are the sweet variety and all the rest shown are savory.

Make Squash For Dessert

Chop two apples and season the squash and apples with melted coconut oil, a healthy sampling of cinnamon and a pinch or two of sea salt and bake on a rimmed baking sheet. The baked apples and squash will melt together in your mouth and provide you with a dessert worthy dish to finish off the savory meal I’ve included below.

Baked Kabocha Squash and Ground Beef

Yield: 2-4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 kabocha squash, cubed
  • sea salt, to taste
  • coarse ground black pepper, to taste
  • dried chervil, to taste
  • extra virgin olive oil, to taste
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2lbs grass-fed ground beef
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 6oz can of tomato paste
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped

Directions

  3. While the squash is baking add the onion and garlic to a large skillet over medium heat.

  5. After 7-10 minutes add the pumpkin puree, tomato paste and fresh rosemary. Stir to combine well. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover and let the meat simmer until the squash in the oven is done.

  7. In a deep bowl add a few scoops of ground beef, top with baked squash and serve.
  8. Enjoy! :)
