Roasted Turban Squash With Grapefruit Pomegranate Feta Recipes

ROASTED TURBAN SQUASH WITH GRAPEFRUIT, POMEGRANATE & FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F (205ºC). Place sliced turban squash in large casserole dish. Drizzle with oil and toss well to coat all sides. Season with cinnamon, salt and pepper and sprinkle with rosemary.
• Cover dish with foil tightly and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and continue roasting until tender. This can take up to 30 or 40 minutes more. Keep checking with a fork until the squash is nice and soft.
• Remove from oven, drizzle with honey and sprinkle pomegranate, pecans and feta cheese over the squash. Garnish with additional rosemary and serve warm.

ROASTED VEGETABLES WITH HERBED FETA, PISTACHIO AND POMEGRANATE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the carrots, potatoes and Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil and sprinkle with the salt, pepper and coriander. Spread the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes. Flip the vegetables and continue to roast until tender and browned all over, 15 to 20 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, add the feta, yogurt, honey, lemon zest and lemon juice to a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy, adding a little water if needed to loosen the puree. Add the herbs and pulse until just distributed (you don't want to turn the mixture green; you just want to combine them). Spread the feta mixture on a platter. Arrange the roasted vegetables on top of the feta. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds and pistachios over the top and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH LENTILS AND FETA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pick any debris from the lentils, then rinse the lentils under running water. Transfer them to a medium saucepan, then add the cinnamon, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Add enough water to cover everything by 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and let simmer until the lentils are tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Drain the lentils, discard the cinnamon and garlic, then transfer the lentils to a large bowl.
• While the lentils cook, prepare the squash: Trim and discard the top and bottom ends of the squash. Peel the squash, halve it lengthwise, and remove and discard the strings and seeds. Slice the squash crosswise 1/4-inch thick and place the pieces on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast the squash until completely tender, slightly caramelized and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let cool for 10 minutes. Once cool, add to the lentils.
• While the squash cooks, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, pomegranate molasses, honey, cumin, cayenne and black pepper. Taste and season to taste with salt.
• Sprinkle the feta, scallions and pumpkin seeds over the lentils and squash. Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dressing over the lentils and squash. Serve warm or at room temperature, with the remaining dressing on the side.

SHEET-PAN ROASTED SQUASH AND FETA SALAD

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).
