Ingredients

Scale

Squash:

  • 1 red kuri squash
  • 2 tablespoons minced scallion
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresno or red jalapeño pepper
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground Frontier Co-op Allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil

Topping:

  • 2 cups packed arugula
  • 1/2 cup cooked bulgur
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
  • [url]3 tablespoons lemon vinaigrette∞https://naturallyella.com/lemon-vinaigrette//[/url]

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400˚F. Quarter the squash and remove the seeds. Place cut-side up in a roasting pan.
  • In a small bowl combine the scallions with the fresno pepper, garlic, thyme, ginger, soy sauce, allspice, and cinnamon. Stir, adding enough olive oil to form a thick paste. Spoon the paste over the squash, spreading across all the flesh of the squash. Roast until the squash is tender, 35 to 45 minutes.
  • While the squash is roasting, combine the arugula with the bulgur and pomegranate seeds. Add in the vinaigrette and toss until combined.
  • Once the squash is done, divide the arugula onto the roasted squash.
