Ingredients

  • 2 Delicata Squash
  • ½ Teaspoon Cayenne
  • 2 Heads Kale
  • 12 Cherry Tomatoes quartered

Maple Miso Dressing

  • 2 Tablespoons White Miso
  • 2 Tablespoons Tahini
  • 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 1 Teaspoon Sriracha
  • 6 Tablespoons Water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Slice the delicata squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Set the seeds aside – don't throw them away. Slice the squash into half-moon shapes. Arrange on one of the baking sheets and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, separate some of the seeds from the pith. Rinse well and then arrange on the other baking sheet. Sprinkle with cayenne. Bake for 15 minutes, watch for burning.
  • Meanwhile, make the maple miso dressing. Add all the dressing ingredients to a mason jar and shake or whisk to combine.
  • Reserve half the dressing for drizzling. Use the other half to massage the kale.
  • When the squash and seeds are cooked, assemble the salads. Place a bed of kale in each bowl, add the squash and sliced tomatoes. Sprinkle with the seeds and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Enjoy!
