Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb Delicata Squash
  • 2 cup Cooked Quinoa
  • 1 cup Red Onion
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 tsp Poultry Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Aminos
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Sweet Red Pepper

Instructions
 

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Thoroughly wash the squash and cut off the stem end of the squash so you can see the seeds inside. Scrape out the seeds. This leaves a nice hollow hole for the stuffing.
  • Sauté the red onion and garlic in a small amount of water.
  • In a bowl mix cooked quinoa, red onion, garlic, poultry seasoning, chopped sweet red pepper and black pepper.
  • Stuff the squash with the quinoa mixture and place squash in a casserole dish. If you have any leftover quinoa mixture put it in the casserole dish beside the squash.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the squash skin is soft.
  • Remove from the oven, slice the squash in half lengthwise and put each half on a plate.

Notes

  • Alternately, you can cut the squash in half lengthwise before stuffing it and bake open-faced. This will make the quinoa nice and crunchy.
  • For a softer texture cover the squash with foil while cooking. Serve the squash with a green salad and/or other vegetables.
