Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF (204ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the butternut squash cubes on the baking sheet and season with the cinnamon and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat the squash with the seasoning then arrange into a single, even layer (do not overcrowd the pan). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the cubes are cooked through and have browned on both sides.
- Meanwhile, cook the quinoa according to package directions.
- To assemble the salad, divide the baby spinach, quinoa, and butternut squash between bowls and top with the apple, red onion, and walnuts. Drizzle with apple cider vinegar. Enjoy!
