Your mind running in five directions at once, and by the time you catch a breath, you&#8217;re not quite sure where the day went. On days like that, I go on autopilot until I make it into the kitchen. That&#8217;s where I land. Cooking has this way of turning the noise down for a little while, it&#8217;s become my own private therapy over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lately, with the air turning cooler, that quiet often comes in the form of squash. There&#8217;s nothing like the smell of it roasting in the oven, especially with a little harissa and silan to keep things interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I love squash, all kinds, there&#8217;s something so comforting and starchy about it. This harissa roasted acorn squash is one of my favorites: the squash is naturally a little sweet, and pairing it with sweet silan and spicy harissa gives it a real kick, turning it into a side you genuinely can&#8217;t stop eating.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2336-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Baked Acorn Squash with Harissa and Date Honey\" class=\"wp-image-2137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2336-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2336-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_2336-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why You&#8217;ll Love This Recipe:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sweet and spicy in every bite, thanks to silan and harissa <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Just one pan and 35 minutes from start to finish <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Naturally vegan and gluten-free <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A gorgeous, seasonal side dish for fall gatherings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Ingredients &amp; Substitutions:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Acorn squash<\/strong> \u2013 a small, ridged winter squash with naturally sweet, tender flesh. No need to peel it, just give it a good scrub since you&#8217;ll be eating the skin too, it softens completely in the oven.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Silan (date syrup)<\/strong> \u2013 a thick, dark syrup made from dates, common in Middle Eastern cooking. It adds a deep, caramel-like sweetness. If you can&#8217;t find it, maple syrup or honey work as substitutes, though the flavor will be a bit different.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Harissa<\/strong> \u2013 a spicy North African chili paste.
