Roasted Golden Beet and Winter Squash Salad

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Heat the oven to 375 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss together beets, 2 tablespoons oil, orange juice, ½ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon pepper, bay leaf and thyme. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

2. Step 2

   In a medium bowl, toss radishes with 1 tablespoon oil, ¼ teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Flip beets and scatter radishes around them. Raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees and roast uncovered until everything is golden and tender, 18 to 25 minutes longer, stirring once or twice.

3. Step 3

   Meanwhile, on a separate rimmed baking sheet, toss squash with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and ½ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Roast in oven along with beets and radishes, until browned, 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through.

4. Step 4

   Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, garlic, anchovies and salt. Let sit for a minute, then whisk in oil.

5. Step 5

   As warm vegetables come out of the oven, toss them in the bowl with the dressing and let cool. Once cool, fold in cilantro, scallions and pumpkin seeds.

6. Step 6

   In a medium bowl, toss frisée with olive oil and salt to taste, then transfer to serving plate. Top with roasted vegetables, and cover generously with cheese.
