Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6. Put the squash and onion on a small nonstick baking tray, mist with cooking spray then season well. Roast for 30 minutes, turning once, until cooked through and golden.

Meanwhile, toast the quinoa in a small pan set over a medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until dry and fragrant. Stir in 180ml cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes, before fluffing up the quinoa with a fork. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the butternut squash and onion.

Make the herb dressing. In a small bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, garlic and herbs, then season to taste. Drizzle the dressing over the quinoa and squash, then gently toss to combine. Transfer to a plate and serve with the feta crumbled over the top.
