This vegetarian dish is chock-full of protein, healthy fats, and vitamin-rich veggies.
Makes 4 servings.
Ingredients
- 2 small butternut squash
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- ¼ cup shallots, diced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon dried sage
- ½ cup cashews
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
Directions
Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
Pour the water into a rimmed baking sheet.
Place the squash on the baking sheet, with the cut side down, and bake at 375° F for 35 minutes.
Heat a skillet to medium heat.
Add vegetable broth, and stir in the mushrooms, spinach, shallots, thyme, sage, and cashews.
Stir until the veggies are softened.
Mix the cooked quinoa into the veggies.
With a fork, loosen the flesh of the butternut squash, making more room around the hole where the seeds were removed.
