Vegan Sausage, Apple, and Quinoa Stuffed Acorn Squash

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F

Step 2

Bake squash cut side down for 30-40 minutes, until just tender. (Line your baking dish or tray with parchment paper for easier cleanup.)

Step 3

Meanwhile, chop the apple and brat finely, then in a large bowl, mix with the quinoa and all remaining ingredients.

Step 4

When squashes are mostly baked but not totally soft, remove from oven and scoop out a little bit to make the cavity bigger. Mash that up and stir into the bowl of brat & apple quinoa stuffing, and pile the stuffing mixture back into the cavity (like a twice-baked potato).

Step 5

Continue to bake for an additional 20 minutes, until the squash is fully tender. Serve hot or warm, right from the shell.
