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.
