Ingredients
4 cups cubed butternut or acorn squash
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
1 (6 oz) box stuffing mix (herb or cornbread-style)
1¾ cups broth (chicken or veggie)
2 tbsp butter
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped celery
Optional: chopped fresh sage or thyme for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss squash with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast 25–30 mins until golden and tender.
While squash roasts, melt butter in a skillet and sauté onion and celery until soft (about 5 mins).
Prepare stuffing mix in a large bowl by combining with sautéed veggies and hot broth. Let absorb for 5 minutes.
Fold in roasted squash gently. Transfer to a greased baking dish.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until the top is golden and edges are crisp.
