Ingredients

  • 2 medium acorn squashes
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. 2Cut the acorn squashes in half and scoop out the seeds.
  3. 3Place the squash halves cut-side up on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until tender.
  4. 4While the squash is roasting, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.
  5. 5In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
  6. 6Add the diced red bell pepper, corn, black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. 7Once the quinoa is cooked, add it to the skillet and mix well. Stir in the chopped cilantro and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. 8Remove the roasted squash from the oven and fill each half with the quinoa mixture. If using, sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  9. 9Return the stuffed squashes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
