- Place into the oven and roast for 10 minutes, then flip each piece over and roast for a further 5 minutes or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, for the dressing, whisk the ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Set aside.
- To serve, pile the plates or a serving dish with the lettuce and top with the roasted squash.
- Sprinkle with the crumbled feta, pomegranate seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
- Drizzle with as much dressing as desired.
