**Vegan Stuffed Butternut Squash**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 medium butternut squashes
– 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
– 2 cups vegetable broth
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 zucchini, diced
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– 1 tsp dried rosemary
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
– 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut the butternut squashes in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
3. Place the squash halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until tender.
4. In the meantime, cook the quinoa. In a saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
5. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant.
6. Add the bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
7. Stir in the cooked quinoa and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning if needed.
8. Remove the butternut squashes from the oven and carefully fill each squash half with the quinoa and vegetable mixture.
9. Sprinkle the stuffed squashes with chopped walnuts.
10. Return the squashes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and slightly golden.
11. Serve the Vegan Stuffed Butternut Squash hot, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
With its harmonious blend of flavors and textures, this Vegan Stuffed Butternut Squash makes for a lovely centerpiece on any holiday table. The sweetness of the butternut squash complements the savory quinoa filling, while the crunch of walnuts adds a delightful contrast.
