ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Oil a rimmed baking sheet and arrange the squash slices on it in a single layer. (If it doesn't all fit, oil another sheet and use that as well.) Brush the top of the squash slices with more extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle them with the salt and black pepper to taste.
• Roast in the heated oven until the squash is golden brown on the top, 20 minutes. Then flip the slices over and roast until they are very tender, about 10 minutes longer. (I ended up putting mine under the broiler for a couple more minutes for a little more color).
• Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, zest, garlic, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Let the ingredients sit for a minute, then whisk in the anchovies and 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil until emulsified. Taste and add more salt and/or lime juice as needed.
• Serve the squash covered with the vinaigrette and sprinkled with the hazelnuts and scallions.

GREEK YOGURT WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut the squash at the bottom of its long neck, separating the squash into 2 pieces. Cut each piece lengthwise and scoop out the seeds from the bottom half. Cut each piece into 1/4-inch half-moons. Add the squash to a large bowl along with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a couple grinds of black pepper. Toss to combine, and then arrange on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
• Bake on the center rack until the squash is tender but not mushy (the squash might not brown and that's okay), about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool at room temperature.
• Combine the Greek yogurt, orange juice, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and a couple grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. Season with additional salt if needed.
• Toss the arugula with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, a pinch of salt and a couple grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
• To serve, divide the yogurt among 4 plates, spreading it out into a thin layer. Then top with the butternut squash and arugula. Sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds and sunflower seeds.
