Ingredients

Preparing the Roasted Butternut Squash

  • 1 Medium Sized Butternut Squash
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Cumin
  • Himalayan Pink Salt & Black Pepper

Preparing the Fall Harvest Salad

  • Mixed Greens - I used Baby Red & Green Leaf

  • Pumpkin Seeds
  • Hemp Shells
  • Diary Free Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

Preparing the Roasted Butternut Squash

  1. Preheat oven to 420 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. Peel, de-seed, & slice the butternut squash into small cubes & place them onto a lined baking sheet. Add the olive oil & spices, & toss well, making sure all of the squash is coated.

  3. Bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the tray from the oven, flip the squash, & bake for another 5-10 minutes, based on how soft you like your squash to be. I baked mine for an additional 10, after the initial 20.

  4. Remove from oven & let the squash cool.

Putting together the Fall Harvest Salad

  1. Add your choice of mixed greens to a salad bowl or large plate.

  2. Next add the warm butternut squash cubes, sliced apple, & sliced, cooked beets.

  3. Add the remaining salad add-ons - walnuts, pumpkin seeds, hemp shells, & dairy free cheddar.

  4. Drizzle on your dressing of choice - I used Primal Kitchen's Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

  5. Enjoy!
