Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 cups arugula
- 0.5 cups feta cheese, low sodium
- 0.25 cups walnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 medium red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the pumpkin and cut it into 1-inch cubes, discarding the seeds.
Place the pumpkin cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper.
Toss the pumpkin cubes to ensure they are evenly coated and spread them out on the baking sheet.
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and golden brown, turning once halfway through.
While the pumpkin is roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, and honey in a small bowl.
In a large bowl, combine the arugula, roasted pumpkin, feta cheese, walnuts, and sliced red onion.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately, enjoying the fresh and flavorful combination of roasted pumpkin, arugula, and feta.
