Ingredients

2 medium acorn squash, cut in half, seeds removed
2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons Terranean za'atar, divided
1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 cup water
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup of pine nuts
1/2 cup of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3-4 green onions, green and white parts chopped
1/4 cup of fresh flat leaf parsley
1 Tablespoon chives, chopped
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 Tablespoon of lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Microwave the acorn squash for 2-3 minutes to soften the skin. This makes it easier to cut the squash in half.
Cut in half from the tip to the bottom stem.
Use a large spoon to scoop out the seeds and discard.
Place the acorn squash on a baking sheet with the hollow whole facing up.
Use your hands or a brush and rub 1 Tablespoon of olive oil over the 4 halves of the squash.
Sprinkle sea salt and pepper along with 1/2 teaspoon of za'atar over the squash.
Flip the squash over on the baking sheet and bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the flesh is soft and the squash is tender. While the squash is cooking cook the quinoa.
Let the quinoa cool and then add it to a large mixing bowl. Stir in the dried cranberries, pine nuts, chickpeas, green onions, parsley, chives, mint and set aside.
In a mason jar or small bowl whisk together the 1 remaining Tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, paprika and the remaining 1 teaspoon of za'atar.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and stir well.
Once the squash is done remove from the oven. Add a scoop of the quinoa mixture to each squash evenly distributing it among the four halves.
Serve warm.
