Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
- Carefully halve the butternut squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper before placing cut-side down in the baking dish.
- Roast the squash for 30-40 minutes until fork-tender and golden-brown.
- Rinse quinoa and combine it in a pot with vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer, covering for about 15 minutes.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until golden. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
- Mix cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, and drained kidney beans in a large bowl. Add cumin, and season with salt and pepper.
- Once roasted, scoop some flesh from the squash halves into the filling. Fill each half with the quinoa mixture.
- Return the stuffed squash to the oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through and the top is toasted.
