SHEET PAN VEGETABLE DINNER WITH FETA
This sheet pan dinner recipe is super versatile - you can use most vegetables for it, depending on your preference. I chop them very coarsely to save time and the cook time can vary. We eat this as dinner with bread and salad but you can also serve it as a side. Leftovers also taste great cold.

HOUSEMAN'S ROASTED-SQUASH SALAD
At Houseman, the restaurant Ned Baldwin and Adam Baumgart opened in the Hudson Square neighborhood of Manhattan in 2014, you'll find this astonishing salad made with red kabocha squash. But the more easily found green kabocha works beautifully in the recipe, as does buttercup squash and sugar pumpkin. For the dressing, some confidence is required. What seems an enormous amount of dried spices - ground fennel, sumac and coriander - is combined with chopped parsley and cilantro. The result looks dry and grainy, as if something is wrong. But olive oil, lime juice and white-wine vinegar (best available, please!) begin to smooth things out, and the cheese, pistachios and vinegar-plumped currants finish the job. The combination makes a fine vegetarian main-course lunch or dinner, particularly paired with braised greens and good bread.

Steps:
- Put the currants in a small bowl, and pour the white-wine vinegar over them. Allow them to macerate for several hours or overnight, though in a pinch you can allow them to plump up while you prepare the squash. Heat oven to 450.
- Cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds, peel both halves (if you like: the skin of the kabocha squash is edible) and slice the squash into 1/4-inch half moons. Dress the squash lightly with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and season with the salt. Place the squash on a parchment-lined sheet pan, and roast until soft and caramelized, approximately 15 to 20 minutes, turning the pieces once or twice during the process. Remove the squash from the oven, and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a medium-size bowl, combine the fennel seed, sumac and coriander, then add the parsley and cilantro, and stir to combine. Add 1/3 cup olive oil, and stir to combine. You want a wet mixture and may need to add a couple of extra tablespoons of oil to get it.
- Drain the currants, reserving the vinegar, and add them to the green sauce. Add the lime juice, pistachios, cheese, 6 tablespoons olive oil and 5 teaspoons vinegar from the pickled currants to the green sauce. Taste, and add more lime juice or vinegar if you like, along with a spray of salt.
- Place squash on a warm platter, and spoon the dressing over the top.

Steps:
- Arrange a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 400°F. Toss squash, black pepper, 2 Tbsp. oil, and 1 tsp. salt on an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet and arrange in an even layer. Roast until squash is beginning to brown on one side, 10-15 minutes. Turn squash, then arrange bread and feta over. Roast until bread is lightly toasted and feta is soft and warmed through, 8-10 minutes.
- Whisk vinegar, honey, thyme, and remaining 6 Tbsp. oil and 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add radicchio and hot squash mixture and toss to combine.
- Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with Aleppo pepper (if using).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place the squash, cauliflower, shallots and chickpeas on a half-sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with the zaatar and salt, then toss to coat well. Roast, turning once, until the veggies are tender and just starting to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
- While the veggies cook, make the dressing. Whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. While whisking, slowly drizzle in 1 tablespoon of the hot water at a time, until the mixture is smooth. Season with salt.
- Remove the roasted veggies from the oven. Top with the arugula, pomegranate seeds, pistachios and goat cheese, then drizzle with the tahini dressing.
SHEET-PAN BAKED FETA WITH BROCCOLINI, TOMATOES AND LEMON
When baked, feta gains an almost creamy texture, similar to goat cheese but with feta's characteristic tang. In this easy vegetarian sheet-pan dinner, broccolini (or broccoli), grape tomatoes and lemon slices roast alongside the feta until the broccolini crisp, the tomatoes burst and the lemon rinds soften. (Remember, broccolini has a tender, delicious stalk so only the bottom 1/2-inch needs to be trimmed.) Serve this dish over a pile of orzo for a complete meal. If you like, cut the broccolini, feta and lemon into bite-size pieces and toss with the orzo.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees with a rack set in the lower third. On a sheet pan, combine the broccolini, tomatoes, onion and lemon slices with the olive oil and toss. Add cumin and red-pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, and toss again until evenly coated. Nestle the feta slices into the vegetables. (It's OK if they break apart a little.)
- Roast 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through but leaving the feta in place, until the broccolini is charred at the tips, the stems are easily pierced with a fork and the tomato skins start to blister and break down.
- Serve over orzo or farro. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with the remaining lemon half for squeezing. Top with fresh herbs, if using.

- In a frying pan, toast the pumpkin seeds for 3-4 mins or until they start popping in the pan. Remove, chop 2 tbsp of the seeds and put in a bowl. Pour the rest over the salad. Add the remaining lime juice to the chopped seeds, with the oil, and seasoning. Mix and pour over the salad.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: A firm, heavy squash with deep-colored skin is ideal for roasting. Acorn, butternut, and kabocha squash are all good choices.
- Roast the squash until it is tender: The squash should be tender enough to easily pierce with a fork, but not so soft that it is mushy.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Try adding roasted broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes.
- Make sure the feta cheese is crumbled: Crumbled feta cheese will distribute evenly throughout the salad and melt slightly when roasted.
- Dress the salad with a flavorful vinaigrette: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs is a great way to dress this salad.
Conclusion:
Sheet-pan roasted squash and feta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with roasted squash, feta cheese, and fresh herbs, and is dressed with a flavorful vinaigrette. This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of protein and healthy fats.
