Ingredients
- 2 sugar pumpkins (size of a small cantaloup)*
- 1 cup light coconut milk

- 1 medium white onion
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- ½ cup quinoa
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth (vegetable for vegetarian or vegan)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Carve open the top of the pumpkin to make a lid, then scoop out the seeds and pumpkin strings. (Save seeds to bake later.)
- With a basting brush, lightly coat the outside of the pumpkins with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Fill each pumpkin with ½ cup coconut milk, ½ teaspoon red curry paste, and ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon.
- Place the top back on.
- Toss the cauliflower, onion, and potato with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, curry powder, and turmeric.
- Spread the chopped vegetables on a foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer next to the pumpkins.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- While the pumpkins are baking, cook the quinoa in chicken broth, according to package directions.
- Once the pumpkins have finished baking, toss the veggies and quinoa together.
- Place the mixture inside of the pumpkins.
- Scrape the sides of the pumpkin, being careful not to pierce the skin.
- Mix everything together and serve!
*You can also do single serve pumpkins if you do softball size sugar pumpkins and just divide the filling accordingly. The cooking time remains the same.
