1/8 cup toasted pumpkin seeds

4 cups arugula

1/4 cup Goat cheese (optional)

Instructions

Peel and slice your butternut squash to a 1/4 inch thickness.

Preheat your oven to 400°C.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place your butternut squash on the baking sheet. Over top, you will add your bacon, red onion and pumpkin seeds.

Pop your ingredients in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and ingredients cooked through.

While it’s cooking, prepare your dressing. Cover and let it sit in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble your salad.

Once your butternut, bacon and seeds are done, let them cool slightly.

Assemble your arugula salad in a large bowl and toss with the dressing. It’s a wonderful and filling salad that will make you a star autumnal chef!

Enjoy.
