Ingredients

  • 12 ounces butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 small yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, divided

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

  • kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 6 ounces kale, roughly chopped

  • ¼ cup vegetable broth

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Place squash into a large bowl. Add onion, 1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar, brown sugar, oil, salt, and pepper; toss to coat. Spread mixture in a single layer onto a baking sheet.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender and golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Set aside.

  4. Combine kale and broth in a heavy-bottom skillet over medium heat; bring to a light simmer. Cover the skillet, reduce heat, and cook until kale is tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes; drain any excess liquid.

  5. Mix together kale, squash mixture, and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar in a serving bowl.
