This Vegan Stuffed Butternut Squash is a delicious and satisfying gluten-free, vegan dish that's perfect for the holidays. Nutrient-rich quinoa, savory vegetables, and crunchy walnuts come together in a flavorful stuffing that's packed into roasted butternut squash halves.

Ingredients: 1 medium butternut squash. 1 cup quinoa. 2 cups vegetable broth. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1 onion, diced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 bell pepper, diced. 1 cup mushrooms, diced. 1 teaspoon dried thyme. 1 teaspoon dried sage. Salt and pepper to taste. 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. 1/4 cup chopped walnuts.

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400F 200C. Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender. While the squash is baking, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saut until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper, mushrooms, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Once the quinoa and vegetables are cooked, combine them in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the chopped parsley and walnuts. When the squash is tender, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Carefully scoop out some of the flesh from each half to create a cavity for the stuffing. Fill each squash half with the quinoa and vegetable mixture, pressing it down gently. Return the stuffed squash to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Serve the stuffed butternut squash warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
