Best 5 Warm Roast Pumpkin Salad Recipes

MAPLE ROASTED PUMPKIN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spread pepitas on a large rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven, tossing occasionally, until fragrant and beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
• On a large, rimmed baking sheet, toss pumpkin with 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until pumpkin is tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove garlic cloves from sheet pan; set aside. Drizzle pumpkin with 2 tablespoons maple syrup; toss to coat. Return to oven and continue roasting, tossing occasionally, until pumpkin is glazed, 5 to 10 minutes more; let cool.
• Meanwhile, cut off root ends of garlic cloves; squeeze out garlic and mash to a paste with the side of a knife. Transfer to a large bowl. Add lime juice, mustard, and remaining maple syrup; season with salt and pepper. Whisking constantly, add remaining oil in a steady stream; set aside.
• Add arugula and pumpkin and toss to combine. Serve salad sprinkled with toasted pepitas and crumbled feta cheese.

ROAST PUMPKIN SPINACH FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400° F (200° C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Arrange the pumpkin slices, pear and onion in a single layer on the tray and roast for 20-25 minutes.
• If you want to sprinkle some toasted walnuts on your pumpkin feta salad, you can put them on the same tray next to the pears for the last 5 minutes of baking!
• Once the pumpkin, onion and pears have become tender and golden, remove them from the oven and set aside to cool.
• In the meantime, put the washed spinach and arugula into a large bowl.
• In a jar or small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients or give it a good shake with a leak-proof lid on to combine.
• Finally, arrange your roast pumpkin and feta salad by adding the baked and still warm goodness on your leafy greens, then top with herbed tofu feta, pomegranate seeds and toasted walnuts.
• Finish off with some fresh mint leaves and drizzle with mustard dressing. Toss to combine and enjoy immediately!

ROAST PUMPKIN, SPINACH AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220C/430F (standard) or 200C/390F (fan/convection).
• Toss pumpkin with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread on baking tray, bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, flip, then bake for a further 7 - 10 minutes until golden but not mushy. (Note 3) Loosen pumpkin with egg flip (it can adhere as it cools), then if serving salad at room temperature, leave to cool.
• Shake Dressing in a jar. Taste and adjust to taste. I like it a bit sharp because it balances out the flavours in this salad.
• Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until light golden and it smells nutty. Remove pine nuts from skillet as soon as it's ready.
• Place Spinach in a bowl. Drizzle with a bit of dressing then toss.
• Add pumpkin, just a bit of feta and pine nuts, then GENTLY BRIEFLY toss just to disperse the feta. (If you toss vigorously, the feta can make it look messy).
• Transfer to serving plate. Sprinkle over remaining feta and pine nuts. Just before serving, drizzle with remaining dressing (dressing doesn't stay on baby spinach well, so worth drizzling at end). Serve!

ROAST PUMPKIN SALAD

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 240 degrees celsius (fan-forced). Toss the pumpkin pieces in the olive oil and scatter over the roasting tray. Cook for 30 minutes before carefully using an egg flip to turn the pumpkin pieces and cook for a further 5 - 10 minutes until golden.
• In the meantime, combine the dressing ingredients and mix to combine. Set aside until needed.
• Place the baby spinach leaves over your serving plate. Add the pumpkin pieces, currants, almond flakes and top with the feta. Slowly drizzle with the dressing and serve.
