Categories     Vegetable     Side     Roast     Thanksgiving     Healthy

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients
2 medium acorn or butternut squash or small sugar pumpkins (about 3 pounds total)
1 med. red onion
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut squash into 1 1/2"-thick wedges, leaving skin on. Scrape off seeds and strings with a large spoon and discard. Peel and slice red onion into 1" wedges. Coat wedges with 3 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay wedges cut side down on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, carefully turning halfway through, until golden brown on both sides, about 30 minutes. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add pumpkin seeds and cook, swirling pan often, until seeds are puffed and brown but still have a bit of green, 4-5 minutes. Transfer seeds to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt. DO AHEAD: Squash and toasted pumpkin seeds can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand separately at room temperature. Rewarm squash before serving. Transfer squash to a large platter and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle squash with torn mint leaves and toasted pumpkin seeds.
