Ingredients
- 1/2 acorn squash, cubed
- 1 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups couscous
- 3 3/4 cups water
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 ounces cubed feta
- 1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons minced Italian parsley
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. To a baking sheet, add the squash, along with olive oil and a few pinches of salt. Cook until tender, about 30 minutes.
-
To a small saucepan, add the couscous, water and 1/2 of salt. Set over medium heat, and bring to a simmer. Immediately cover the saucepan and cook until water has evaporated and couscous are tender, about 12 minutes. Drain the couscous and rinse with cold water. Transfer to a large bowl.

To the large bowl, add the lemon juice, olive oil, cooked squash, feta, hazelnuts and Italian parsley. Toss together until combined. Give it a taste and adjust the salt (I added about 1 teaspoon) to taste. Transfer to serving bowl.
