Roasted Butternut Squash Salad With Tangerine Rosemary Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the pine nuts in a small skillet over low heat and slowly toast them, stirring, until they're golden brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Set aside off heat.
• To prepare the butternut squash, cut off the top and bottom, then use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to remove the hard skin. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with a spoon. Slice the squash into sticks and then slice the sticks into cubes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet or saucepan over low heat. Skim off as much of the foam as you can. Put the squash in a bowl and pour in the melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
• Spread the squash out on a rimmed baking sheet and roast, shaking the baking sheet once or twice during roasting, 25 to 30 minutes. Crank up the heat to 400 degrees F and roast until the squash is sizzling and golden brown around the edges, another 15 minutes or so. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes, then add the Parmesan and toss together. Toss in the pine nuts.
• Mix the olive oil with the balsamic in a bowl and sprinkle in a little salt and pepper. Put the salad greens in a serving bowl and toss with half the dressing. Add the squash mixture and lightly toss it in. Serve the extra dressing on the side. Top with additional Parmesan if desired.

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 1/4 cup olive oil in a large, heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the squash. Season with some salt and pepper. Saute until slightly browned and softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the vegetable broth. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper, and set the squash aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, prepare the tangerines and vinaigrette. Peel 3 of the tangerines and slice them into 1-inch rounds, removing any seeds. Place the sliced tangerines in a bowl. To make the vinaigrette, juice the remaining tangerine into a small mixing bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the rosemary. Whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a large serving bowl, add the mixed salad greens. Toss the salad with the vinaigrette until evenly coated. Top with the warm butternut squash. Arrange the sliced tangerines on top and sprinkle with the dried cranberries. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix butternut squash cubes, garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well coated. Spread mixture into a large baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until squash is caramelized and golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, toss the squash and onion with honey, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Transfer to a 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake 20-25 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring once. Cool slightly., In another bowl, combine the spinach, iceberg lettuce, cheese and squash mixture. Just before serving, drizzle with 4 Tbsp. dressing and toss to coat. Divide salad among 8 plates; top with stuffing cubes, dried cranberries, slivered almonds and bacon. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
