Chayote Squash Over Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Slice chayotes in half. Boil in salted water for about 30 minutes. Scoop out seeds and discard. Scoop out flesh and mix with all other ingredients except cheese. Saute with olive oil. Stuff Sauteed vegetables in squash halves, then bake in 325 degree F oven for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.

Steps:

• Peel Chayote, slice in two and remove seed. Slice into strips. Saute in 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil, with garlic and onion. Serve over pasta.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Coat the chayote squash and zucchini with 1 tablespoon avocado oil and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Leave the oven on.
• While vegetables are roasting, heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken in the hot oil until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Heat remaining oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and jalapeno and saute for about 5 minutes. Add corn, garlic, taco seasoning, and cumin; stir and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in the black beans and cooked chicken. Add the partially-roasted squash and zucchini.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. Top with Cheddar cheese and continue to bake until melted, about 1 minute more. Top with tomato, green onion, and cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat, until the butter is melted. Add the onions and sauté until they are golden, but not browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the chayote and oregano and sauté an additional 2 or 3 minutes, until the squash starts to soften. Lower the heat, cover, and let cook until the chayote is tender, an additional 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat. Add the salt and pepper and toss before serving.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter in the hot skillet, and stir chayotes, sugar, garlic, red pepper flakes, and ginger into butter. Cook, stirring frequently, until chayotes are tender, about 15 minutes; season with salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add garlic, squash, salt, pepper, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Stir together and cook 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add vinegar to the squash mixture and cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, until the squash is slightly wilted, but still firm and crunchy. Taste, and add more salt or sugar if needed.

Steps:

• Place the chayote into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until very tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Remove the seed and seed membrane from the chayote using a spoon; discard. Scoop out as much of the remaining pulp as possible into a bowl without puncturing the shell. Pat the shell dry with a paper towel and place in a baking dish; set aside. Squeeze the excess water from the reserved pulp. Stir in the butter, egg, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese until well-blended. Fill each of the chayote shells with the pulp/cheese mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese on top, followed by the bread crumbs.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and the cheese has melted, 35 to 45 minutes.
