Description
Enjoy Bold Flavors in Every Bite of Roasted Kale and Butternut Squash
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash, peeled and chopped into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus 1 more for the pan)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 big onion, sliced thick
- 5 garlic cloves, sliced (use less if you’re not garlic-obsessed)
- 1 bunch kale, chopped small
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp dried thyme (fresh works too)
Instructions
- Toss the butternut with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread it out on a baking sheet.
- Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes until tender and golden. Let it cool.
- While that’s roasting, heat a little more oil in a skillet.
- Cook the onions low and slow until soft and golden.
- Add the garlic and keep cooking until caramelized (about 15 minutes).
- Toss in the kale and stir just until it wilts, ± 3 minutes. Let it cool.
- Mix a splash of vinegar, a bit of pepper, and thyme.
- Then toss everything gently in a big bowl: roasted squash, garlicky kale, and that tangy dressing.
