Winter Squash Grain Bowl with Lemon Tahini Sauce

Produce Box Vegetables: Pumpkin or Winter Squash or Sweet Potatoes, Substitute: Diced Apple for Pomegranate Seeds, Top with: Pea Shoots

“This bowl is filled with acorn squash (any skin-on squash will work) and Brussels sprouts that are roasted with oil, maple syrup, mustard and spices. They come out of the oven perfectly browned, a little sweet and plenty spicy. If you leave the dressing off until right before serving, this salad makes fantastic leftovers”
