Roasted Chestnut Cranberry Stuffed Squash is a delightful autumn dish that beautifully combines the sweet creaminess of butternut squash with a savory stuffing of roasted chestnuts, tart cranberries, and protein-packed quinoa.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup roasted chestnuts (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries (preferably unsweetened)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh sage (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper before placing cut-side down in the baking dish.
  3. Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes until tender.
  4. While the squash roasts, rinse quinoa under cold water, then cook in vegetable broth according to package instructions (about 15 minutes).
  5. In a bowl, mix cooked quinoa, chopped chestnuts, cranberries, and sage. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Once the squash is cool enough to handle, flip it cut-side up and fill generously with the mixture. Return to oven for another 10-15 minutes.
  7. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with additional olive oil or balsamic glaze.

Notes

  • Perfect for Thanksgiving or cozy dinners.
