METHOD

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the acorn squash in half and remove the seeds. Brush the inside with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.

Step 4

While the squash is roasting, rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook it according to package instructions using vegetable broth instead of water.

Step 5

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant.

Step 6

Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Stir in the cooked quinoa, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Once the squash is done roasting, flip them over and fill each half with the quinoa mixture until it’s heaping full.

Step 8

Return the stuffed squash to the oven for an additional 10 minutes until heated through.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your beautiful stuffed acorn squash!
