Equipment

  • 1 Propane Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Acorn squashes, halved and seeds removed
  • 1 cup Quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups Vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 Cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup Dried cranberries
  • ½ cup Chopped walnuts
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

This recipe can be seamlessly customized based on your preferences. Options include:

  • Add/replace walnuts for almonds or pecans, sunflower or pumpkin seeds
  • Add any vegetables into the mixture, such as carrot, bell pepper, or mushroom
  • Add a crumbled goat cheese and honey drizzle topping for extra flavor

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place the acorn squash halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Brush the insides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the squash is tender.
  • While the squash is roasting, prepare the quinoa. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened.
  • Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet with the sautéed onion and garlic. Stir in the cumin, paprika, cinnamon, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Once the acorn squash is tender, fill each half with the quinoa mixture.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
