While the squash is cooking, boil 2 cups of vegetable broth with the quinoa, and cook for 20 minutes, or until fluffy (add extra broth if it all gets absorbed before it's fully cooked).
In a pan, sautee onion, garlic and carrots until carrots start to soften. Add a can of chickpeas and lots of fresh spices like rosemary, sage and thyme (about 1 to 2 tbsp of each). Season with salt and pepper and a 2 tbsp lemon juice). Add the quinoa to the chickpea mixture when it's done cooking, mix together and season again, to taste.
Remove squash from the oven, flip over so the inside is exposed, and fill/cover with the chickpea-quinoa mixture. It will spill over, but that's okay. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Put back in the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the top is a nice light brown.
