Stuffed butternut squash is an easy to prepare vegan recipe that works well as a side or a vegan-balanced entree. It’s great served with a green salad and crusty bread. It’s also tasty enough to satisfy the whole family.
Changes to meet individual needs are easy. Replace Brussels sprouts with zucchini chunks. Try the dish with brown rice instead of basmati. If you want to skip the hassle of cutting the squash, cleaning out the seeds, and baking it, you could easily buy cubed squash and cook it with the stuffing to make a casserole. Then you have a great dish for a buffet or a potluck meal with a group.

Thanks for the recipe! I love butternut pumpkins (we call them pumpkins over here) and I am trying to make sure that we have at least one meat-free meal a week. So this is a great idea!
In the U.S., squash comes in many varieties including round orange pumpkins. I just love squash in general.
