Directions
ROAST THE VEGETABLES
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper
- In a large bowl, add the squash pieces, sliced potatoes, onions, garlic. Add the Spice Spice Baby Spice Blend and 1 tsp sea salt.
- Drizzle the olive oil on top and stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Spread the vegetables out on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, blanch the kale: Fill a medium sauté pan with water halfway and bring to a boil.
- To remove the ribs from the kale: hold the kale leaf by the base of the stem and run a sharp knife away from you on either side of the rib. The green leafy part should cut away, leaving the stem in your hand to toss away.
- Roughly chop the leafy part. Add the entire amount to the boiling water for 20-30 seconds only.
- Drain the kale into a colander and run under cold water.
- Spin in a salad spinner to remove excess water(optional) or simply shake in the colander and allow to dry while the vegetables continue to roast
MAKE THE DRESSING
- Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together
PUT IT TOGETHER
- In a serving bowl, add the dried kale first and toss with 2 tbsp of the dressing.
- Add the roasted vegetables on top and add another 2 tbsps of the dressing.
- Sprinkle the nuts and the cranberries on top and add another tbsp of the dressing. Serve warm or at room temp.

Crispy Kalette Salad with Garlic and Pomegranate
Years ago I had a few Kalette plants that outlasted every other vegetable in my garden and grew like trees. It’s been difficult to find that particular variety these days, but I am lucky enough to have a great organic farm nearby and when I stopped in, they had kalettes. Kalettes are also known as kale sprouts and they are delicious when seasoned and roasted.
