Ingredients
- 1 medium delicata squash seeded, halved lengthwise, and cut into ½-inch slices
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice about 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup use Grade B if you have it
- Zest from 1 orange
- A pinch or two of cayenne pepper optional
- 2 bunches kale leaves about 1 pound, stems removed, leaves torn into bite-sized pieces
- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
- ¼ cup wheat berries cooked according to package directions
- ¼ cup Pepitas
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Toss the delicata squash with a tablespoon of olive oil and transfer it to a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and bake for about 20 minutes, or until tender and just beginning to brown.
- While the squash is cooking, whisk together the remaining olive oil, orange juice, vinegar, maple syrup, orange zest, and cayenne pepper (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the kale leaves in a large bowl and massage them until they're wilted and the bitterness is gone. Transfer the kale leaves to a large serving platter. Top with the squash, pomegranate seeds, wheat berries, and pepitas. Serve with the vinaigrette.
