Quinoa Stuffed Kabocha Squash image

Kabocha is an excellent source of beta carotene, iron, vitamins C and E, potassium and dietary fiber. It also contains the highest amount of cobalt among all the vegetables, which is essential to produce insulin, thus making kabocha diabetic-friendly.

I'm not a fan of quinoa, so I used rice instead. The dish still turned out great! The kabocha squash was perfectly roasted and the rice stuffing was very flavorful.

I had some trouble finding kabocha squash at my local grocery store. I ended up using butternut squash instead and it worked out fine. The dish was still very delicious.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices to the quinoa stuffing. The kabocha squash was also a bit too sweet for my liking.
