Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the butternut squash on a large rimmed baking sheet, and toss with the 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and caramelized.

Toast the pecans in a small skillet over medium to medium low heat, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant. Keep a close eye on them as they can burn very quickly. Set aside to cool.

Place the cooked and cooled quinoa, roasted butternut squash, kale green onion, pomegranate and pecans in a large bowl.

Toss with the desired amount of dressing until well coated and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy!
