Ingredients: You will need 2 small butternut squashes, 1 cup of rinsed quinoa, and 2 cups of vegetable broth to cook the quinoa. The savory filling includes 1 cup of chopped mushrooms, 1 small onion, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and optionally top with ½ cup of shredded cheese and a garnish of ¼ cup of fresh parsley.

• Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 400∘F (200∘C).
  • Roast the Squash: Halve the squashes, scoop out the seeds, brush with olive oil, season, and roast cut-side-up for 35–40 minutes until tender.
  • Cook the Quinoa: Boil the vegetable broth, add the rinsed quinoa, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  • Prepare the Filling: Sauté the onion, garlic, and mushrooms in olive oil until tender. Stir in the cooked quinoa and season with salt and pepper.
  • Stuff and Finish: Spoon the filling evenly into the roasted squash halves. If using, sprinkle with cheese and bake for an additional 5 minutes until melted.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
