Roasted Butternut Squash And Apple Salad Recipes

Steps:

• For the mustardy dressing: Combine the mustard and vinegar in a small bowl, then whisk in the oil until emulsified. Season to taste.
• For the salad: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the squash in the olive oil and spread out on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with a few pinches of salt, a few turns of pepper and the cayenne. Roast until browned, tossing halfway through, 18 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool.
• In a small bowl, toss the apple with the lemon juice.
• Place the spinach in a large serving bowl, then add the toppings beautifully in rows: the squash, onion, corn, Cheddar, sunflower seeds and the apple. Dress as desired.

Steps:

• For dressing:
• Whisk vinegar and lemon juice in small bowl; gradually whisk in oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• For salad:
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush 2 large rimmed baking sheets with oil; spray with nonstick spray. Whisk vinegar and sugar in small bowl; set aside. Cut squash halves crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange squash in single layer on prepared sheets; brush with oil and sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper. Roast 5 minutes; brush with sugar-vinegar mixture. Turn squash over and brush with sugar-vinegar mixture; roast 5 minutes. Roast until squash is tender when pierced with small knife, about 15 minutes longer. Cool on sheets. DO AHEAD: Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Arrange 5 to 6 endive leaves on each of 10 plates. Place butternut squash slices in center of each plate. Scatter apples, cheese, and cranberries over squash. Drizzle dressing over and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the butternut squash on a sheet pan. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the maple syrup, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss. Roast the squash for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until tender. Add the cranberries to the pan for the last 5 minutes.
• While the squash is roasting, combine the apple cider, vinegar, and shallots in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the cider is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Off the heat, whisk in the mustard, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
• Place the arugula in a large salad bowl and add the roasted squash mixture, the walnuts, and the grated Parmesan. Spoon just enough vinaigrette over the salad to moisten and toss well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray roasting pan with cooking spray. Place chicken in pan. Brush chicken with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper.
• Place squash in large bowl; drizzle with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil. Sprinkle with fines herbes and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; toss well. Spoon squash around chicken.
• Roast uncovered 35 to 40 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F). Remove chicken and squash from pan; cover to keep warm.
• Add wine to pan drippings; heat to boiling over high heat, stirring to loosen brown particles. Reduce heat; cook 2 minutes or until sauce is reduced to 1/4 cup.
• On each of 4 plates, place 1 chicken breast and 1 cup squash. Spoon 1 tablespoon sauce over each chicken breast.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Arrange two oven racks evenly spaced.
• Place the beets on a sheet pan, toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and spread out in one layer. On a second sheet pan, toss the butternut squash and apples with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and spread out in one layer. Roast both pans of vegetables for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing occasionally, until everything is tender and lightly browned.
• Meanwhile, for the vinaigrette, heat 1/3 cup olive oil in a small saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and cook for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Over low heat, whisk in the balsamic vinegar, orange zest, orange juice, honey, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Keep warm.
• Place the roasted vegetables and fruit in a large bowl. Add the arugula and vinaigrette and toss well. Sprinkle with the almonds and serve warm.
