Stuffed Delicata Squash
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs delicata squash medium/large
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 cup red onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup sweet red pepper finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to Bake at 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 then 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
As an alternative, 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.
