Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium acorn squash halved and seeds removed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup small brussels sprouts halved
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • With a knife, make 5-10 slits on the inside of each half of the squash. Rub 1

    3-4 minutes, then add the Brussels sprouts. Sauté for 3-4 more minutes, until
    tender.
  • Add the garlic, chickpeas and cumin. Set aside.
  • Remove the squash from the oven and mash the insides with a fork. Add the Brussels sprouts
    stuffing to each half.
  • Serve and refrigerate leftovers.
