If using round squash, slice the bottom so squash stands flat. If the squash is large, cut into two halves. For long squash, cut the top layer off -- not too much, as the farm squash are nice and small. Using a melon baller, scoop out the flesh of the squash at the center, a little for the small squash, more for the larger.
Spray a baking dish with canola oil. Put the squash in the dish, spray the squash.

In a food processor, puree the walnuts and dates until fine.

Using the melon baller, scoop nut date mixture into squash. Sprinkle with a little sea salt.

Bake in a 350 degree oven until the squash is soft and the nut date mixture is brown, approximately 30 minutes.

Serve hot or room temperature.
