Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil; spray the foil with nonstick spray. Spray a 7 x 11-inch baking dish with nonstick spray; set aside. Cut the squash in half, discard the seeds, and place the squash, cut-side down, on the baking sheet. Bake until the squash is tender, 35-45 minutes. Leave the oven on.

2. Remove the squash from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle. Scoop out the flesh and place in a medium bowl. Discard the skin.

3, Add the hummus, honey, cumin, salt, and crushed red pepper to the squash in the bowl; mix well. Spread the mixture into the baking dish. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the squash is heated through and the cheese is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
