Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup diced carrot
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush the inside with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the squash halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet and roast for 40-45 minutes until tender.
-
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried sage, and dried rosemary and cook for an additional minute.
-
Add the vegetable broth, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, and breadcrumbs to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the liquid.
-
Once the butternut squash is cooked, carefully flip the halves over so the cut side is facing up. Fill each squash half with the Christmas stuffing mixture.
-
Return the stuffed squash halves to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the stuffing is golden and crispy.
