Instructions
- Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper. Pre-heat oven to 400F (200C).
- Butternut squash: Peel and cube butternut squash and place on one baking sheet. Mix with the other ingredients (except maple syrup) for the butternut squash.
- Brussels sprouts: Remove stem from brussels sprouts and place in a food processor. Pulse a few times until it's all shredded (or shaved). Pour on to the other baking sheet and mix with drained chickpeas and the other ingredients (except parmesan) for the brussels sprouts.
- Roast: Place both sheets into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until butternut squash is fork tender, add maple syrup the last minute or so. Remove the sheet with the butternut squash. Sprinkle parmesan on the brussels sprouts and increase temperature to 440F (220C) for five more minutes.
- Prepare dressing and kale salad: While these are roasting, shake all the ingredients for the dressing in a jar. Cut each clementine wedge in half. In a dry pan roast the chopped walnuts for a few minutes until fragrant. For the kale, add oil and garlic in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the kale and give it a mix. Put the lid on for a few minutes and mix again.
- Serve: Divide the kale among the plates, top with butternut squash, brussels sprouts and all the other ingredients.
