Quinoa Stuffed Delicata Squash

Finally something autumnal! The weather has cooled off at last, and I got lots of squash and some sage in the CSA this week, so I present stuffed squash. I used delicata, but you can use any winter squash like acorn or pumpkin or butternut...


1 delicata squash
1/2 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (I cooked mine in broth with sauteed onions and garlic)
2 Tbsp garbanzo beans (I used the rest of the can to make hummus)
2 tsp chopped fresh sage, or to taste
salt and pepper
1-2 Tbsp Cashew Parmesan
Preheat the oven to 350

Cut the squash in half lengthwise and rub with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper

Combine the cooked quinoa, garbanzo beans, and sage in a small bowl Season as desired with salt and pepper and cashew parmesan. Stuff the squash halves, mounding the stuffing as needed and sprinkle with a little more cashew cheese. Bake until the squash is tender and the top is browned, 20-25 minutes.
