Maple Roasted Squash

By Eleanor Ozich

A simple yet delicious salad of maple roasted squash tossed with greens from the garden and a sprinkling of parmesan. By roasting the squash pumpkin in pure maple syrup and olive oil, it really brings out the earthy and sweet flavors. Finished with a sprinkling of salty parmesan, and a squeeze of lemon juice, this salad is a truly enjoyable light meal.
