Total Time: 35-45 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 2 Apples, cored
- 2 C Butternut squash
- 1 C Quinoa, cooked
- 1 t Cinnamon
- 1/4 t Nutmeg
- Non-dairy milk, optional
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
- Place apples on roasting pan, sprinkle cinnamon on flesh.
- Cut butternut squash lengthwise and remove seeds. Place on roasting pan flesh side down.
- Bake for 25-35 min, or until you can easily pierce flesh with a fork.
- Remove skin from butternut squash (use a knife or scoop out with a spoon). Place cooked squash in blender to puree (may need to add a bit of milk or water, I used a splash of almond milk).
- In a saucepan combine all ingredients and cook for about 5-10 min or until heated through.
- I topped mine off with a splash of coconut milk.
TIPS
- Cook quinoa in bulk ahead of time so it's ready to use for a dish like this.
- I prepared the quinoa in this recipe with homemade vegetable stock, no salt was added.
