Time 1h

Yield 4 as a main, 8 as a side

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 acorn squash, seeded and cut into quarters
Simply Nature Organic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, for drizzling
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup Southern Grove Pepitas Roasted with Salt, more for garnish* (see note)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 small garlic clove, minced
½ cup finely chopped cilantro, more for garnish
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
⅓ cup Simply Nature Organic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
¼ teaspoon Specially Selected 100% Pure Maple Syrup
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Simply Nature Organic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
½ cup chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon Simply Nature Organic Ground Cumin
Pinch of Simply Nature Organic Ground Cinnamon
1 (14-ounce) can Dakota's Pride Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
⅓ cup Simply Nature Organic Vegetable Broth
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
¼ cup finely chopped cilantro
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup Friendly Farms Plain Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Simply Nature Organic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drizzle the squash with olive oil and pinches of salt and pepper. Roast, cut side up, 35 to 40 minutes, or until tender and browned around the edges.
  • Make the chimichurri: Place the pepitas in a food processor and process until finely ground. Transfer to a small bowl and mix in the red pepper flakes, garlic, cilantro, and freshly ground pepper. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and maple syrup and stir until combined. Set aside.
  • Prepare the chickpeas: Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, a pinch of salt, and cook until soft, 5 to 8 minutes, until browned, turning down the heat as needed. Turn the heat to low and add the garlic, cumin, cinnamon, and chickpeas. Stir to coat, then add the broth, ¼ teaspoon salt, and pinches of pepper and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Set aside, the mixture will thicken. Stir in the cilantro just before assembling the dish.
  • Make the lemon yogurt: In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt.
  • On a platter, assemble the squash quarters and top with the chickpeas and the chimichurri. Garnish with cilantro and pepitas and top with the lemon yogurt.

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
  • To prepare the squash, use a sharp chef’s knife to slice through it from the tip to the stem. I find it easiest to pierce the squash in the center along a depression line, then cut through the tip, and finish by slicing through the top portion just next to the stem. Use a large spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy bits inside, and discard those pieces.
  • Place the squash halves cut side up on the parchment-lined pan. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over the squash, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Rub the oil into the cut sides of the squash, then turn them over so the cut sides are against the pan. Bake until the squash flesh is easily pierced through by a fork, about 30 to 45 minutes. Leave the oven on.
  • Meanwhile, cook the quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until all of the water is absorbed, 12 to 18 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cranberries. Cover, and let the mixture steam for 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff the quinoa with a fork.
