Ingredients

  • 8 cups diced butternut squash
  • 1 red onion diced
  • 5 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt divided
  • 3/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss together squash, onion, 3 tablespoons of the oil, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper on rimmed baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven until squash is browned and tender, 20 to 25, rotating pan on a rack after 15 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle.

  3. Combine chickpeas, olives, and walnuts in a large bowl; drizzle with dressing, and toss to combine. Add squash mixture and feta; toss lightly to combine. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.
