Stuffed Acorn Squash

Read Reviews (0)

Just a tad different…this squash dish is tasty, simple and has a nice presentation. The crunchy quinoa adds the perfect contrast to the soft squash and ginger fits in nicely.

Ingredients

1 acorn squash
1 tablespoon ginger (chopped fine)
½ cup pecans (chopped)
1 heaping tablespoon shallots (chopped fine)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoon quinoa
2 tablespoons water

Directions

If you have trouble cutting squash you can microwave the whole squash in the microwave for about 1 minute to make the cut a little easier.
Cut in half lengthways and then scoop out the seeds. Place the squash on a baking tray and preheat the oven to 400° F.
Combine all of the ingredients for the stuffing in a mixing bowl and then scoop an equal amount into each half.
Place in the oven and bake until the squash is cooked. Serve and enjoy!
