Butternut Squash Quinoa Risotto
Ingredients
3 cups butternut squash cubed
2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Pinch of salt & pepper
1 cup quinoa
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1/4 cup nutritional yeast or romano/parmesan cheese
Drizzle of honey optional
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Toss the butternut squash with coconut oil, cinnamon, paprika and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. Stir the squash around a few times so it cooks evenly.
While squash is cooking, add quinoa and vegetable broth to a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, cover and turn down to simmer for 10 - 15 minutes. The quinoa should be soft, but there should still be some liquid in the pot.
Remove squash from the oven, transfer to a bowl and mash it with a fork until almost smooth. Add squash to the quinoa, stirring to combine.
Sprinkle in nutritional yeast (or cheese) and cook for another 1 - 2 minutes.
Serve immediately and garnish with additional nutritional yeast (or cheese) and a drizzle of honey.
