1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. Halve the butternut squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

3. Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 40-50 minutes until tender.

4. In a skillet, cook the diced bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon, leaving drippings.

5. Sauté minced garlic and spinach in the same skillet until spinach wilts, about 3-4 minutes. Add cooked bacon, feta cheese, and oregano.

6. Flip the baked squash halves so flesh is up and fill with the mixture, pressing down gently.

7. Bake again for 15-20 minutes until heated through.

8. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

For a leaner option, use turkey bacon or substitute with sautéed mushrooms or diced tofu.

Feel free to add other ingredients like quinoa or wild rice for variations.
