Ingredients
2 large acorn squash, flesh removed, cut into 1-inch moons
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
1 cup frisée leaves
1 cup fresh figs, halved
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Dijon vinaigrette:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
1 tsp granulated sugar
2 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Toss squash with 2 tbsp olive oil, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
- Roast 20 minutes, then add Brussels sprouts tossed with remaining olive oil. Roast 15–20 minutes more until caramelized and tender.
- Meanwhile, whisk vinaigrette ingredients until emulsified. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Arrange roasted squash, Brussels sprouts, frisée, and figs on a platter or bowl.
- Drizzle with Dijon vinaigrette just before serving.
Notes
Leave the acorn squash skin on—it becomes tender when roasted.
Substitute delicata squash for a sweeter option.
Top with nuts, seeds, or cheese for extra richness.
Serve slightly warm for the best flavor.
Keep components separate if prepping ahead to avoid sogginess.
