Ingredients
- 2 acorn squash, cut in 1/2 and seeded
- 1/3 cup lowfat sour cream or more as needed
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup shelled dry-roasted sunflower seeds
Directions
Place the acorn squash halves in a microwave-safe dish and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH until the flesh is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, remove the flesh from the squash and transfer to a large bowl. Add the sour cream, cumin, and garlic powder and mash together with a fork until blended and smooth, adding more sour cream, as necessary, to create a nice consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon the squash onto plates and top with sunflower seeds just before serving.

Wow this is a great recipe. I had 2 squashes sitting on my counter and didn't know what to do with them. I wanted to cook something different from the roasted squash with brown sugar and cinnamon, so I made this. What a great surprise!!! This was excellent and I will make it often!! Thanks for sharing this recipe!!!!

Unbelievably good flavor. A little dry, so I added 2 Tblsp butter, and it became creamy smooth. Recipe a definite keeper--my family loved this!
