This Golden Beet Cranberry Quinoa Stuffing recipe is somewhat sweet yet savory, that takes full advantage of the fall harvest. It works perfectly as a side or even a vegetarian entree as well as a gluten free stuffing.

I find the mild sweetness of the roasted golden beets and tangy cranberries team well with the savory quinoa in this dish, creating a fun gluten free stuffing.
This quinoa stuffing recipe is gluten-free and if you opt for vegetable stock, vegan too.
