Ingredients
Scale
1 medium pumpkin (about 2–3 pounds), peeled and cut into cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt and black pepper to taste
5 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or your favorite salad greens)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup sunflower seeds (or nuts of your choice)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss pumpkin cubes in a large bowl with olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Spread the seasoned pumpkin cubes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and fork-tender.
While the pumpkin is roasting, place mixed greens in a large serving bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and honey until well combined.
Once the pumpkin is done roasting, let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes then add the warm pumpkin on top of the greens.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta and sunflower seeds generously over the top.
Drizzle the balsamic dressing over everything, toss gently to combine, and serve immediately.
