Stuffed Acorn Squash With Pine Nut Parmesan

This is one of our favorite family recipes, (passed down from Kelly’s mom, Kate) and a long time, top- of-the-list for vegan holiday dishes. Made with delicious roasted acorn squash filled with an incredibly satisfying filling that is amazing!

The roasted acorn squash is cooked until it’s caramelized, which gives it depth and richness. We fill it with nutty quinoa, and savory vegetables, and top it with our Tuesday Foods Toasted Pine Nut Parmesan (recipe below). This is one for the books!

Plus, we love that it's satiating, celebrates the harvest, and is beautiful when served to guests or for a party of one.
