  • 4 medium-sized squash (such as acorn or butternut)
  • 1 cup quinoa or rice (cooked)
  • 1 cup black beans (canned, drained, and rinsed)
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (such as parsley or cilantro)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare Squash: Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast Squash: Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until tender.
  4. Cook Filling: In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes).
  5. Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and paprika. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  6. Combine Filling Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooked quinoa or rice, black beans, corn, and the sautéed vegetable mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Remove the squash from the oven and carefully flip them cut-side up. Fill each half with the quinoa mixture, pressing down gently.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top of the stuffed squash.
  9. Return the stuffed squash to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
