Ingredients

1/2 large unpeeled green or orange kabocha squash (about 5 lb.), cut into 12 (1/2-in.-thick) wedges
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons coarsely ground coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
6 tablespoons dried cranberries
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar

How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Step 2

Combine pumpkin, 1 tablespoon olive oil, coriander seeds, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, tossing gently with hands to coat. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Cover with foil. Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes. Remove foil; bake 15 more minutes or until pumpkin is tender and browned, turning once.

Step 3

While pumpkin roasts, combine cranberries, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard seeds, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer; remove from heat. Steep 15 minutes or until almost all of the liquid is absorbed.

Step 4

Place onion in a bowl of ice-cold water; let stand 10 minutes. Drain.

Step 5

Toss lemon juice, kale, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, massaging kale with hands to soften. Transfer kale to a large serving platter; top with pumpkin and onion. Sprinkle with cranberries.
