Winter Squash Salad

• 1 medium winter squash

• 4 tbsp maple syrup

• 1 cup diced apples (original recipe calls for pomegranate)

• 3/4 cup Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

• .5lb salad greens

PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the squash in half. Scoop out seeds and scrape clean. Slice into ¾ inch thick rounds. Place on a parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet. Do not let any pieces overlap.

2. Using a pastry brush, brush maple syrup over both sides of squash. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the bottom side of squash is nice and golden brown. Flip and bake for another 10-15 minutes. Brush with maple syrup a second time right after removing from oven. Set aside to cool.

3. While Squash is baking, whip up your favorite dressing!

4. Lightly dress greens, then sprinkle toppings on the bed of greens and enjoy!
