Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
  • Toss squash with 1Tbsp olive oil, thinly sliced onion and season with salt & pepper. Cook until golden and slightly browned, ~25 – 30 minutes.

  • When squash is just about done, before removing from the oven, place the chopped kale on top of the roasting squash for ~5 minutes, to steam it. Make sure not to let the kale bake for too long otherwise it will turn into kale chips.
