Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the acorn squash in half, lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the insides with a small amount of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash, cut side down, in an oven safe dish and fill with 1/4 inch water. Bake squash for 30-40 minutes, until tender.

Step 2

While squash is baking, make the chili. Heat a large pot over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, peppers, tomato, salt and pepper and stir for 3-5 minutes until tender. Add the remaining chili ingredients. Stir until everything is combined and simmer until squash is finished baking.

Step 3

Once squash is done, scoop about 1 cup of chili into each squash bowl. Top with your favorite chili toppings.
