Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine drained chickpeas and cubed honeynut squash. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss well and spread on a baking sheet. Roast for about 25 minutes.
- After 18 minutes, add seasoned kale to the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper, and massage the kale gently. Roast for the final 7 minutes.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add orzo and cook until al dente, usually 7-9 minutes. Drain and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking, then set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl or jar, combine maple syrup, lime juice and zest, white wine vinegar, shallots, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until emulsified and smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine roasted kale, chickpeas, squash, cooked orzo, chopped parsley, pistachios, and cranberries. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately while warm or let it chill for about 30 minutes to meld the flavors.
