Directions:
Cut off the top of the Hokkaido squash and scoop out the inside. Take the prepared squash together with the top you cut off previously and place it in an oven that’s been preheated to 180 degrees and bake it for around 35-45 minutes until the squash is soft and golden. While the squash is cooking, prepare the filling. Rinse and clean the quinoa in hot water and then place it in a pot filled with water and bring it to a boil. After that, add the soybeans to it and cook everything together for 5-10 minutes. As soon as the quinoa and soybeans are cooked add parsley and spices. Cover the pot and let it simmer on a medium heat for 15 minutes.
While that’s simmering, prepare the beetroot sauce. Place all the necessary ingredients into a food processor and process it until it reaches a nice spreadable paste consistency. After that, place the tomatoes on a hot pan which has been sprayed with coconut cooking spray and let them roast on a medium heat until they get that wonderful brown color. After the squash is baked, fill it with quinoa and soybean mix and garnish it with the beetroot sauce. To top it off add the baked tomatoes and serve. Bon appetite!
