Roasted Squash with Yogurt Dressing and Pomegranate Seeds
Roasted squash takes a trip to the Mediterranean in this vibrant recipe from Chef Katharine Marsh. It’s filled with unexpected tastes: A sage pesto flavors wedges of squash, which are roasted until soft and sweet. Then they’re topped with a piquant Greek yogurt dressing sweetened with maple syrup. A sprinkling of pomegranate seeds adds the finishing touch.
