Roasted Onion Butternut Squash Fig Salad With Maple Mustard Balsamic Dressing Recipe 435

Steps:

• SALAD Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss squash and onion with olive oil or avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 35 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare remaining components. DRESSING Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl or shake together in a glass jar. Set aside until ready to use. ASSEMBLY In a large bowl, toss the greens with ¾ of the dressing. Divide evenly between 4 bowls or present this in one large salad bowl. Top with roasted squash, onions, walnuts, goat cheese, and figs. Drizzle each bowl with remaining dressing. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl combine all ingredients and mix to coat the squash.
• Place squash on a nonstick baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake until the squash is tender and brown about 30 to 35 minutes making sure to flip the squash after 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 475 degrees. Lightly coat two large baking sheets with olive oil.
• Peel onions, leaving root ends intact. Cut each onion in half from stem to root. Cut each half into 4 wedges, leaving the root intact so that each wedge holds together. Spread on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil.
• Put the squash in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and about 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss to coat. Spread on a baking sheet, peel side down (if intact).
• Place both pans in oven and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, until the vegetables have taken on some color and are cooked through. Keep an eye on the onions, as they may cook faster than the squash and need to be removed earlier.
• If using nuts, pour 1 tablespoon oil into a small frying pan and place over medium-low heat. Add nuts and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, until the nuts are golden brown and smell toasty. Immediately remove from the heat and dump onto a cutting board to stop the cooking. If using pistachios, chop coarsely when cool enough to handle.
• To make tahini sauce, place tahini in a bowl. Add lemon juice, 1/4 cup water, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk until sauce is the consistency of honey, adding more water or a tablespoon of olive oil if necessary.
• When the vegetables are cooked, set aside until ready to serve. (The vegetables should be served the same day they are made. They can be served at warm room temperature, or reheated just before serving.)
• To serve, combine vegetables on a large serving platter. If using tahini sauce, drizzle on top. Sprinkle herbs and, if using, nuts on top and serve.
