Total: 35 min
Active: 20 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 small acorn squash (preferably 1 pound), seeded
  2. 1 small butternut squash, peeled and seeded
  3. 1/4 kabocha squash, seeded
  4. 2 teaspoons honey
  5. 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
  6. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  7. 1 cup Brussels sprouts
  8. 1/4 cup pepitas
  9. 2 tablespoons pumpkin seed oil
  10. 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  11. 4 cups arugula leaves
  12. 1 tablespoon pomegranate seeds
  13. Shaved Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Slice acorn squash into rounds about 1 inch thick. Slice butternut squash into about 1-inch chunks. Slice kabocha squash into half-moon slices, also about 1 inch thick. Spread the squash out onto a sheet tray, making sure they are in a single layer and slightly spaced out; use two sheet trays if necessary. Drizzle all the squash with the honey and half the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and roast until soft but not falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Core Brussels sprouts and cut into quarters. Spread them out on a sheet pan, drizzle with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until slightly tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Spread pepitas out on a sheet tray. Sprinkle with salt and lightly toast until they pop and are a light brown, 6 to 10 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin seed oil and lemon juice. Lightly dress the arugula leaves with the mixture.
  6. To assemble, place dressed arugula on a large platter, then arrange squash and Brussels over the arugula. Sprinkle with pepitas and pomegranate seeds and garnish with shaved Parmesan.

This was outstanding! I made this for Christmas dinner and it was a huge hit! Will make this again!

So good! I had a calabaza squash (which feeds an army!) so I used that instead of several varieties. I also didn’t have Brussels sprouts, but it was still delicious! The dressing is amazing. So different and it was wonderful on both the greens (I used a mix of arugula, Swiss chard, and radicchio) and the squash. Yum! Will be a repeat for us for sure!

Great recipe, amazing presentation. Made it as a side dish for my pan fried chicken breast.
