4-Ingredient Double Stuffed Butternut Squash

This 4 Ingredient Double Stuffed Butternut Squash is incredibly tasty, cheesy and super easy to make. This is a gluten-free vegetarian butternut squash dish, made with only four ingredients plus spices.

The stuffing is made with yogurt, cheddar cheese, and green onions. For flavour I used turmeric, a spice with powerful antioxidants.

The reason I used turmeric is, because the mild flavour of this spice does not overpower the delicate squash. The squash, combined with the gooey cheese filling is outstanding.

This is a simple dish packed with plenty of deliciousness!

Important facts about squash!

Butternut squash has many possible health benefits. Although technically it is a fruit, this low-calorie squash is used mostly as a vegetable. This squash is known to prevent asthma and to lower cancer risk because of its high amount of beta carotene.

In addition, this delicate squash is high in potassium and fiber. Add turmeric to the mix, and you have a whole lot of healthiness! Another favourite squash recipe of mine is the Thai red curry with chickpeas and butternut squash. It is outstanding 🙂
