Step 1
Start off by brushing olive oil all over the pumpkins- inside and outside.
Step 2
Sprinkle salt and pepper on the inside.
Step 3
Place them on a baking tray and bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until flesh is softened but the pumpkins are still firm. Keep a close eye after 20 mins. Ripe pumpkin tend to bake faster.
Step 4
Remove from oven and keep aside.
Step 5
While the pumpkins are baking, prepare the filling by mixing together leftover chili with leftover rice. I also mixed in some leftover cooked carrots and peas but this is optional.
Step 6
Fill each pumpkin with the chili mixture.
Step 7
Top off each pumpkin with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Step 8
Broil in the oven for 3-4 minutes or until cheese is filly melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
