Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange squash on prepared pan; drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt, tossing to coat. Roast for 20 minutes; turn over. Continue to roast until fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in saucepan, bring quinoa and broth to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until quinoa is tender and no liquid remains, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; drizzle with 1/3 cup of the Creamy Tahini & Turmeric Dressing. Fluff with fork; let cool completely. Set aside.
In dry skillet, toast pecans over medium-high heat, stirring often, until fragrant, 3 to 8 minutes. Transfer to small bowl; set aside.
Divide squash among plates; spoon quinoa over top and top with arugula. Drizzle with remaining Creamy Tahini & Turmeric Dressing; sprinkle with pecans and pomegranate seeds.
Makes 3 entrées or 6 side servings.
