Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel, seed, and chop the butternut squash into bite-sized cubes.
- Toss the squash cubes in a mixing bowl with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and fork-tender.
- Combine the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pure maple syrup, salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon in a mason jar. Shake vigorously until well mixed.
- In a large decorative bowl, gently toss the mixed salad greens to ensure they’re evenly distributed.
- Layer the roasted butternut squash, sliced apples, dried cranberries, and cornbread croutons on top of the greens.
- Sprinkle the candied pecans and grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Serve with the dressing on the side.

Notes
