- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add spinach and cook until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain; use paper towels to squeeze out excess moisture. Fold into couscous.
- Melt margarine in a skillet. Add onion; cook and stir until browned, about 10 minutes. Mix onion into the couscous mixture. Stir in seasoned salt, salt, and pepper.
- Stuff acorn squash halves with couscous mixture. Sprinkle feta cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.
