Materials

• Half a large, halved, and gutted butternut suspected squash
• 1/4 cup oblique olive oil
• 1 finely chopped onion
• 2 crushed garlic cloves
• 1 cup prepared quinoa
• 1 cup cooked black beans
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1tsp ground cumin
• 1tsp smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Scoop out the seeds and pulp from the butternut suspect squash halves. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Drizzle the squash halves with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until tender.
4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed garlic and cook for another minute.
5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, parsley, feta cheese (if using), cumin, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well.
6. Once the squash is tender, fill each half with the quinoa mixture, dividing it evenly. If using, sprinkle diced apples or pears and chopped walnuts or pecans over the filling.
7. Return the stuffed squash to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and the squash is caramelized.
