Ingredients
Roasted Butternut Squash Salad
- 2 1/2 pounds butternut squash
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- black pepper
- salt
- 1 romaine lettuce large head
- 1 cup sprouts (I used onion sprouts)
- 3 ounces goat cheese
- 1/3 cup walnut halves
Dressing
- champagne vinaigrette
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the ends off the butternut squash. Use a vegetable peeler to completely peel the butternut squash. With a flat surface on the bulb end, stand it up on end and carefully slice it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove the seeds and membrane. Dice the butternut squash into 1-inch sized pieces.
- Transfer the butternut squash to a baking tray, drizzle with avocado oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and use your hands to mix it up and make sure all the pieces are coated.
- Roast the butternut squash for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Roughly chop the romaine lettuce and add to serving plates. Top with the cooled butternut squash, chunks of goat cheese, a sprinkle of walnuts and a small handful of sprouts. Drizzle with the champagne vinaigrette.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Avocado can be added when in season and affordable to provide extra creaminess and flavor.
