Ingredients

  • 1 large Delicata squash
  • 1 1/2 cup onion chopped
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/3 cup almonds chopped or slivered (sub pecans, hazelnuts)
  • 1/3 cup walnuts chopped (pine nuts or seeds)
  • 1/4 cup chickpea flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 T plant milk
  • 1-2 T nutritional yeast to your liking
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs to taste rosemary, sage, thyme or go sweeter with cinnamon, nutmeg and clove

Instructions

  • Wash your squash, halve it and scoop out the seeds.
  • In a bowl, combine the chickpea flour, water, plant milk and nutritional yeast.
  • In a skillet over medium high heat, saute onion and garlic until soft and golden. Add the nuts, herbs, a couple pinches of salt and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and pour in flour mixture.
  • Stir to evenly mix. Spoon this into the squash halves. Depending on the size of your squash, you may have extra filling. If you do, cook the filling in muffin tins, it will make a mock mini quiche.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until the squash is tender when pierced.
