Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 400F. Line two large rimmed baking trays with parchment
paper.
2 Use a sharp knife to carefully slice the peeled squash in half. Scoop out the
seeds and discard. Cut the squash into small, ½-inch cubes and transfer to one
of the lined baking trays. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and
sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the smoked paprika, and the cinnamon. Season with
sea salt and black pepper. Toss to coat.
3 Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the other lined pan, drizzle with the
remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon
smoked paprika. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Toss to coat and spread
out into an even layer across the pan.
4 Transfer both pans to the oven. Roast the tomatoes for 15 to 18 minutes, or
until tender, blistered, and just beginning to turn golden-brown at the edges.
Roast the butternut squash for 20 to 25 minutes, or until fork tender and just
beginning to caramelize, flipping at the 15-minute mark.
5 Remove both pans from the oven and let cool slightly.
6 Meanwhile, add all the vinaigrette ingredients to a food process and process for
20 seconds, or emulsified. The cranberries should be very finely chopped.
7 Divide the arugula between bowls or plates. Top with the pomegranate seeds,
pinenuts, and roasted butternut squash and tomatoes. Drizzle each salad with as
much of the vinaigrette as desired and serve immediately.
