For The Kabocha Squash

  • 1 medium kabocha peeled and cut into cubes (about 2lbs)
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon Sea Salt

Instructions

For The Kabocha Squash

  • Preheat oven to 425° F. Scatter the cubed squash on a large baking sheet and toss it with all of the ingredients until well-coated. Roast for 20 minutes, flip the pieces over with a spatula, and continue to roast for another 10-15 minutes, until the squash is soft and slightly browned with some caramelized spots.

For The Quinoa

  • While the squash is cooking, add the quinoa and vegetable stock to a pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
