Health Highlights

Ingredients


1/2 tsp Nutmeg, ground
1/2 tsp Coriander, ground
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1 pinch Sea Salt
3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (or other healthy oil (like coconut)
1 1/3 kg Butternut squash (organic, cut into 3/4-inch cubes)
681 gm Kale (trimmed and cut crosswise into 2-inch wide pieces)
3/4 cup chopped Shallots
1 clove(s) Garlic (minced)
1/2 cup Cranberries (apple juice sweetened, not sugar sweetened)
2 pinches Black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions


Roasting the Squash

Pre-heat oven to 400°F.

Mix the dried spices, cut squash pieces & 2 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl.

On a large rimmed baking sheet, spread the squash in a single layer.

Roast, stirring once about halfway through, until browned and tender, 22-25 minutes.
 

Preparing the Kale Saute

Wash & cut the kale. Leave the stems in to get additional fiber.

Chop the shallots & garlic.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large heavy-duty skillet over medium heat. 

Add the kale & cook for 2-3 minutes until kale is soft, yet still bright green.

Next, add the chopped shallots & garlic and cook until translucent. 

Final Creation

Add the roasted squash & dried apple juice sweetened cranberries together with the kale/shallot/garlic mixture.  

Season with black pepper (optional) and serve.

Make some roasted chicken or roasted chickpeas/garbanzo beans at the same time to make a main course.
