Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small (about 2 pounds) Pumpkin
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 4 cups Arugula
- 0.5 cup, crumbled Dairy-free feta cheese
- 0.25 cup, shelled and chopped Pistachios
- 0.25 cup, thinly sliced Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and deseed the pumpkin. Cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Place the pumpkin cubes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon.
Toss the pumpkin to evenly coat and spread out in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through for even roasting.
In a large bowl, combine the arugula, roasted pumpkin, dairy-free feta, pistachios, and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve the salad immediately, garnished with additional dairy-free feta or pistachios if desired.
