Ingredients
- 1/2 large butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 20 oz.)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 8 cups torn curly kale leaves (about 2 bunches de-stemmed)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/2 shallot, thinly sliced
Make It
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the butternut squash chunks with 1 Tbs. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet and roast until tender and golden brown, about 25 minutes. This can be done 24 hours ahead of time.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 Tbs. olive oil, the lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. salt, cinnamon, and pepper to taste.
3. Combine the kale, squash, pecans, pomegranate seeds, sliced shallot, and dressing in a large bowl up to an hour before serving. Add more salt if necessary and transfer to a serving platter.
Tip
- To save time use pre-peeled and chopped squash.
