Preparation: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Peel and dice the butternut squash into small cubes. Rinse the quinoa under cold water.
Sautéing: In a large ovenproof skillet or casserole dish, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until translucent.
Combining Ingredients: Add the diced butternut squash to the skillet, cooking for about 5 minutes. Stir in the rinsed quinoa, ensuring it's well mixed with the vegetables
Adding Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Baking: Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the squash is tender
Serving: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your meal directly from the skillet, reducing the number of dishes used.
