Creamy Roasted Butternut Squash Risotto
Savor the comforting blend of tender roasted butternut squash with a creamy, velvety risotto enriched by protein-packed chickpeas and a dollop of tangy Greek yogurt. This dish harmonizes sweetness, savory richness, and a hint of herbaceous freshness for a well-rounded meal.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry Arborio Rice
1 cup cubed Butternut Squash
3/4 cup Chickpeas
1/2 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
1/4 medium Yellow Onion, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
1.5 cups Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Sage, chopped
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the cubed butternut squash with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the squash roasts, heat the remaining olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, then add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Add the Arborio rice to the pan and toast it lightly, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes until the edges become translucent.
Slowly add the low-sodium vegetable broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the roasted butternut squash, chickpeas, and chopped fresh sage. Mix well so that the flavors meld together.
Once the risotto has reached a creamy consistency, remove the pan from heat and fold in the nonfat Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.
Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm and enjoy your comforting, protein-balanced risotto.
