Stuffed Butternut Squash

Eat, Food · October 16, 2017 · 6 Comments

Nothing says delicious fall recipe quite like incorporating a roasted butternut squash, am I right? My mom never disappoints when I come back to the east coast, so when she whipped these up on my first night back, I was drooling, but not surprised. These stuffed butternut squash are as easy as they are delicious and just require a few simple ingredients to come together!

6. Remove from heat, mix in a bowl with cooked rice, Craisins and tofu/feta.

This meal is so filling and tasty. The combination of flavors just *tastes* like fall, is that a thing?! The best part about it is that you can include more or less depending on the tastes of you and your family. If you like cheese, load this baby up with feta! I think adding in peppers, sweet potato and/or asparagus would make it even heartier. I should also add that there was a leftover squash and…I ate it the next day! This is an important detail because I DO NOT eat leftovers.

Do you like butternut squash in the fall? I’ll admit – before my mom showed me how, I was a little bit hesitant to try it. Would it take forever to roast?! Would it even taste good? I’m happy to report – none of the above! I can’t wait to take this recipe back to Hawaii!

What’s your go-to fall recipe?
