    ✨ If you have another vegan main dish that would make a great table centerpiece, let us know below! ⬇️

    This looks fabulous!! It really gives the centerpiece feel. At Thanksgiving I've been doing a similar but a bit more savory / less sweet - similar stuffed Acorn Squash - Wild Rice / Mushroom filling. Also have done smaller squashes like Delicata for individual plating/fun but obviously both lose the impressive showpiece/centerpiece aspect. Your presentation is really on point, and reduces "carnivore FOMO" with that lovely ring cut!!
    Definitely need to overcome my hesitancy and be "vegan out and proud" and put one of these mighty butternut roasts front and center!
    As always, you are leading the Plant Eaters team to new heights!

      Hahaha thank you John for the kind words!! The stuffed acorn and delicata squashes sound great as well. 🤩👏🏻👏🏻

    It does look easier than I would have thought. Thanks for trying it. The combination of flavors would taste great, too. It would be a good filling for acorn squash, too.

      Right!? I had always thought it would take forever to make it. 😆 It would definitely work as an acorn squash filling as well! 🤩🤩

      @LetsEatPlants I just watched your previous video with the gift ideas and all of the holiday recipes. All of the gift ideas look delicious and I want to make the granola for myself. And the bread! I'm glad you mentioned baking it on a cookie sheet if you don't have a Dutch oven. It would be too dangerous to have fresh bread in the house though. Stuffing is my favorite! Last Thanksgiving was the first time I made it. And I'm 67. But mom always made it. Sadly, she died last August and the holidays are not the same. Anyway, I didn't get a comment box on that video so I'm leaving it here. Merry Christmas, Maddie.

      @@cyndij8312 Hey Cyndi! I’m glad you enjoyed the other vid, and definitely go for it with the granola, it’s one of my favorites! The bread is great too (I *love* stuffing!) and I like to keep it in the freezer, pre-sliced, to avoid eating it all at once. 😊
      And I’m so sorry for your loss. Holidays will definitely be different, but it’s wonderful you made the stuffing yourself this year, I bet she would be proud!
      Merry Christmas to you as well and thank you for the lovely comment!

    This looks fantastic! For a higher protein option (without using vegan sausage), I think you could sub lentils or TVP for some or all of the wild rice.

    • @LetsEatPlants
      @LetsEatPlants  10 месяцев назад +1

      It really was! 😃 Yes those are both great ideas! Thanks for the suggestion. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

      Yes! I had seen a variation of this with lentils instead. Maybe lentils, wild rice, some sage.
      I hadn't thought of this in "roast" form. I've seen an "open faced" version.

    • @Insightfill
      @Insightfill 10 месяцев назад

      @@SK-ki1te I get you... it's such a staple that it can be overused. Red and yellow lentils can be a whole different thing (taste/texture.) Since they cook so fast, it can be easy to rely on them though.
      As Maddie notes, TVP (aka soy granules/crumbles) work and are quick. They're not everywhere, though. Sauteed mushrooms are nice, with a bit of umami punch. Regular beans, lightly mashed, can fulfil some of the same functionality.

    You made this look so easy, I so want to try this! I do have one question though: when cooked like this, is the skin of the butternut squash edible? Thanks for all of your wonderful content!

    • @LetsEatPlants
      @LetsEatPlants  10 месяцев назад +1

      I promise it is easy! 😃 You know that’s a great question… when I was eating it, I thought.. this skin is thin enough to eat! 😂 I would say as long as google says it’s ok then I’d go for it! But it’s pretty easy to pick around when eating if you don’t like the texture. 😊 Enjoy!

  • @CharGC123
    @CharGC123 10 месяцев назад

    That looks great! Ihave a dumb question. Other than pre softening for short-cooking recipes, is there really a difference in the final result if you skip the dry or water "saute" step and just add to the liquids? When I used to saute with oil, it browned the veggies and changed the flavors, but with dry or water saute I just don't see any appreciable difference. Am I missing something?

    • @LetsEatPlants
      @LetsEatPlants  10 месяцев назад

      Hahaha great point Char! I think it probably wouldn’t make much of a difference unless you’re getting a really good brown on the water sauté. 😊😊

    Put the squash into a microwave over for about 2 mins, and it will be easier to peel and chop it.
