Method

Preparing the Squash

  1. 1

    Roast the Squash

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the butternut squash cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Spread the squash out in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized, flipping halfway through.

Making the Parmesan Crisps

  1. 2

    Prepare Parmesan Crisps

    While the squash is roasting, preheat another oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place small mounds of grated Parmesan cheese (about 2 tablespoons each) on the parchment, spacing them a few inches apart. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let cool.

Preparing the Vinaigrette

  1. 3

    Make the Citrus Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 4

    Combine and Serve

    In a large bowl, combine the roasted butternut squash and fresh spinach. Drizzle with the citrus vinaigrette and toss gently to combine. Top with the Parmesan crisps. Serve immediately.
