How to Prepare Quinoa Mushroom Stuffed Acorn Squash [Vegan, Grain-Free]

Preheat oven to 400°F.
On a greased or foil-lined sheet pan, place squash cut side down on pan. Roast for 30 or until browning achieved.
While the squash roasts, in a large skillet or pan, heat olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes (until slightly both mushrooms and onions slightly browned).
Stir in the rosemary and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Transfer the onion mixture to a large mixing bowl. Combine the quinoa and cranberries. Stir well to combine. Set aside.
Once the squash is soft (by piercing with a fork) remove from the oven and slowly scoop the onion and quinoa mixture into the squash, fill to the top.
Optional: Return the stuffed squash to the oven to heat the stuffing for an additional 2 minutes.
Turn off the oven. Serve with a side salad or other non-starchy vegetables for a delicious meal.
