- Flip the squash halves over and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until a fork can easily pierce through the skin.
- While the delicata squash are roasting, prepare the stuffing mixture by combining the cooked farro, cooked lentils, feta, green onion, raisins, lemon juice, and ¼ cup olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- When the delicata squash are finished roasting, carefully flip them over. Scoop the stuffing mixture into the centers of each delicata squash and serve.
