Ingredients
1-2 pound butternut squash, halved, seeded, cut in 1-inch cubes
Extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon brown rice syrup
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
Juice of one 1/2 lemon
2 bunches arugula, rinsed well, stems trimmed, left whole
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place squash cubes in a mixing bowl, drizzle lightly with oil and season to taste with salt. Toss gently to coat squash and transfer to shallow baking dish, avoiding overlap. Cover tightly and bake for 35 minutes. Remove cover and return to oven to brown, 7-10 minutes more.
While the squash bakes, rinse the seeds and drain. Place a small amount of oil, a generous pinch of salt, chili powder and rice syrup in a skillet and turn heat to medium. When the rice syrup foams, stir in seeds and toast until they begin to brown and are quite fragrant, 5-7 minutes.
Whisk together 1/3 cup olive oil, lemon juice and sea salt to taste. Arrange arugula on a serving platter, mound roasted squash on the arugula, sprinkle with toasted seeds and spoon dressing over top.
Makes 4-5 servings.
