HG Tip! To get the pomegranate juice for the dressing from additional pomegranate arils, just place about 1/2 cup of the arils in a food processor, and pulse until juicy. Strain to remove seeds, and measure out 2 tbsp. juice. Easy!

Winter won't last forever (thank goodness), but when it ends, acorn squash season ends too. Enjoy this massively delicious recipe while you still can!

Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
One 20-oz. acorn squash, halved and seeds removed
1/4 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed thoroughly
1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped brown mushrooms
1 cup roughly chopped spinach leaves
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. salt
Dash black pepper
2 tsp. reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

Place squash cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake until squash is soft, 25 - 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small pot, combine quinoa with vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until broth has been absorbed and quinoa is fully cooked. Transfer to a medium-large bowl, and cover to keep warm.

Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion and mushrooms until softened, about 4 minutes. Add spinach, and cook and stir until wilted, about 1 minute.

Transfer cooked veggies to the bowl of quinoa. Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and mix well. Evenly divide between the squash halves. Sprinkle with Parm-style topping, serve, and enjoy!
