Butternut Squash Vegetarian Recipes Meal Plan
*NOTE* For this meal plan you will be using a lot of butternut squash, obviously! For quicker meal assembly each night you might consider cutting up all of the butternut squash during the beginning of the week and store in ziploc bags or other tupperware to use throughout your week. All of the recipes call for cubed butternut squash except for the panini which requires butternut squash slices. You could also roast the butternut squash ahead of time and then store it for the recipes that call for roasting.
Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Chili with Porter from Oh My Veggies!
Ingredients: onion, jalapeno, chili powder, cumin, coriander, porter beer, diced tomatoes, black beans, butternut squash. Toppings: cheddar, cilantro, avocado, onion, scallion, sour cream.
I love to make a batch of chili early in the week so I can eat leftovers for lunch throughout the week. The combination of black beans, butternut squash and beer is pretty delicious but for me the toppings are most important! I like to add cheddar, cilantro, avocado, sour cream and tortillas chips. I usually make cornbread muffins on the side for my kids to go with it.
Roasted Butternut Squash Panini from Oh My Veggies
Ingredients: butternut squash, olive oil, sage, fresh mozzarella, whole wheat or sourdough bread.
I love this unique panini recipe with squash, sage and mozzarella. We received a panini press as a wedding gift and I can’t believe how much I use it. If you don’t have one you can use a cast iron skillet or other pan. For this kind of recipe be sure to use a really good bread, I love Beckmanns bread but any good quality bread will do.
Butternut Squash and Spinach Polenta Bowl from Oh My Veggies
Ingredients: red onion, butternut squash, olive oil, garlic, cinnamon, baby spinach, water, milk salt, polenta, rosemary, parmesan cheese, pumpkin seeds.
I don’t know why I don’t make polenta more often, it is delicious, easy to make and perfect comfort food.
Baked Butternut Squash and Champagne Risotto from Oh My Veggies
Ingredients: olive oil, butternut squash, button mushrooms, diced onion, garlic cloves, champagne, arborio rice, veggie broth, spinach, parmesan cheese, thyme leaves, lemon zest.
For this recipe you’ll need an oven proof pot with tight fitting lid because you start out building the risotto on the stove but then transfer it to the oven to bake for twenty minutes.Risotto is the perfect comfort food since it is so rich. If you don’t have champagne I think substituting with white wine is fine.
Vegetarian Roasted Carbonara with Roasted Butternut Squash from Oh My Veggies
Ingredients: butternut squash, olive oil, orecchiette pasta, vegetarian bacon, garlic cloves, eggs, parmesan cheese.
I love that this orecchiette pasta dish doesn’t include that many ingredients but still packs a lot of flavor. Even though it looks like it is not a vegetarian dish, that is vegetarian bacon. If you are not vegetarian, you can just use regular bacon.

Love this recipe! We use it quite often. I double the carrots and celery and add minced onion flakes to it and use Uncle Ben’s Wild Rice. After a couple hours check it to see if it needs a little bit more water added.
I’m so glad to hear you like this recipe, and thanks for your great substitution ideas!
