Squash, Sprouts, Kale Veggie Dish (or other roastable veggies)

Written by Published on in Vegetarian

Love it for fall! Even those who don’t like sprouts..loved this!  Add as much squash and sprouts needed per person and adjust vinaigrette accordingly. Can be made with just about any vegetable that can be roasted.  Try peppers, portobello mushrooms, bok choy, spinach etc. Can be made ahead and left on the counter till serving….saves fridge space.

Ingredients

  • Small squash that will hold its shape after roasting such as Delecta, Kobasha, Ghost, Blue Hubbard, roughly 2 c when cubed OR spaghettic squash for stringy texture
  • Brussel sprouts, cut in half lengthwise, roughly 2 c
  • Kale, roughly 1 c chopped
  • vegetable oil or olive oil to coat squash and sprouts
  • 2 tbsp Tamari soy sauce
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1″ piece of fresh ginger, grated fine
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced

  • sea salt and ground pepper
  • cherry tomatoes for decoration

  4. Add cut sprouts to bowl and stir to coat with oil.  Arrange slices on parchment paper, cut side down.
  5. Grate sea salt and pepper onto squash and sprouts.
