Winter squash is a great addition to any diet. It's rich in carotenoids, may be effective in fighting some cancers and could decrease your risk of macular degeneration.
Ingredients
1 acorn squash, washed, cut in half with the seeds removed
1 cup of cooked quinoa
1/2 cup chopped mushroom
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tbsp chopped sundried tomato
4 cloves of chopped garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place your squash onto a baking sheet. Brush oil on the squash. Salt and pepper and bake for about 45 mins.
In a sauté pan, add in oil and the garlic, mushroom, and peppers. Sauté for 5-7 mins. Add the salt and pepper after the vegetables are done.
Cook quinoa according to instructions and place in a large bowl.
Take out the squash from the oven, to add in your mixture.
In the bowl with the quinoa, add the mushrooms and peppers, the feta, and sundried tomato. Mix well, and add the stuffing into the squash. You will have leftovers, so don't worry about not getting the stuffing all in the squash. Place your squash into the oven for 5-10 mins, more if you want your squash well done.
