How to Make It

  1. Gather your ingredients: winter squash (any variety), fresh herbs for garnish, farro or quinoa, olive oil, lemon, and the rest.
  2. Prep your homestead ingredients — wash, chop, and measure: winter squash (any variety), fresh herbs for garnish.
  3. High heat (425°F) is non-negotiable for roasting squash. Lower temps steam instead of caramelize — don't crowd the pan.

  5. Plate, enjoy, and share with your household!
