Ingredients
1 delicata squash
Organic maple syrup
Organic cinnamon
1/2 avocado
10 large brussels sprouts
2-3 cups fresh spinach
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1/4 lemon
1/4-1/2 cup jackfruit bacon (recipe below)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Wash and dry all of your produce and set aside.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Half and deseed the delicata squash, then slice into 1/2″ pieces. Place on to the baking sheet and lightly drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon. For the bare side facing down, instead of flipping and repeating the aforementioned process, I rubbed it into the excess that was on the sheet to put it to use. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until caramelized.
Meanwhile, place the brussels sprouts in a vegetable steamer, and steam for 10-15 mins, or until very soft. Remove and slice in half. Add seasoning as desired.
Place the spinach into a bowl and drizzle with lemon juice. Top with halved tomatoes, sliced avocado, brussels sprouts and squash.
