Ingredients
- 3 cups of pumpkin or butternut squash, cubed in 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 5 ounces of salad mix, spinach, or arugula
- ¼ cup of pepitas (optional)
- 3 tablespoons of Cranberries (optional)
- Storebought or homemade vinagrette
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a sheet pan with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Place the cubed pumpkin on the baking sheet and drizzle the oil. Mix well and then sprinkle the salt, garlic powder (if using), and brown sugar. Using your hands, massage the spices and sugar into the pumpkin. Adjust the cubes so they are in a single layer and not touching and bake for 30 minutes or until roasted.
- Once the pumpkin is roasted, allow it to cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Then assemble the salad. In a large salad bowl, add the greens, half of the roasted pumpkin and 2 tablespoons of dressing. Mix well and then top with the rest of the roasted pumpkin.
- Optionally, top with pepitas, cramberries and more dressing on the side.
- Serve immediately.

Notes
- Serve alongside your favorite soup or sandwich.
- Cut the pumpkin evenly: To ensure it roasts evenly in the oven.
- For a lighter fall salad: Omit the quinoa and add apple or other fruit instead.
- Play around with add-ins: There are plenty to choose from, all of which pair amazingly with pumpkin to discover your perfect vegan fall salad.
- To mellow the raw onion flavor: Soak it in ice water for 10 minutes before patting it dry and adding it to the salad.
