Sheet-Pan Roasted Squash and Feta Salad

This roasted squash and feta salad is a vibrant celebration of texture and flavour, making it a wonderful choice for a heart-healthy lunch or a light evening meal. The natural sweetness of the roasted squash pairs beautifully with the salty, softened feta and the pleasant bitterness of the radicchio leaves.

Perfect for those seeking a nutritious yet comforting dish, this salad is packed with wholesome ingredients and healthy fats from the extra-virgin olive oil. The simple dressing of sherry vinegar, honey, and fresh thyme provides a bright acidity that cuts through the richness of the cheese. Serve it warm from the oven for a sophisticated homemade meal that is as effortless as it is elegant.

How to make Sheet-Pan Roasted Squash and Feta Salad

Arrange a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 204°C. Toss squash, black pepper, 2 tablespoons oil, and 1 teaspoon salt on an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet and arrange in an even layer. Roast until squash is beginning to brown on one side, 10–15 minutes. Turn squash, then arrange bread and feta over. Roast until bread is lightly toasted and feta is soft and warmed through, 8–10 minutes.

Whisk vinegar, honey, thyme, and remaining 6 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add radicchio and hot squash mixture and toss to combine.

Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with Aleppo pepper (if using).
