Lentil stuffed butternut squash

Today I bring you a delicious plant based dinner recipe that features autumn produce: Apple Lentil Stuffed Butternut Squash! I am not usually a fan of fruit in savory meals, but this recipe is an exception! I love how the flavors of the apples compliment the sweetness of the butternut squash. Winter squash is one of my favorite vegetables, so I love trying new recipes with them! My all-time favorite winter squash recipe is my Creamy Stuffed Acorn Squash. I am biased towards loving this recipe, because acorn squash is my favorite squash. However I will say butternut squash is on the come up.

If you follow me on Instagram, then you've seen how recently I have been trying as many winter squash varieties as possible. I honestly just love trying all different kinds of foods (vegan of course). This love is what sparked my #weirdfruitwednesday 's on Instagram too. If you are looking for more recipes featuring winter squash, I'll link some more of my whole foods plant based recipes that include winter squash below:
