Test Kitchen Tip

It might feel counterintuitive to leave the skins on the squash, but they’re edible and soften during roasting.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper coated with nonstick spray.

Toss together squash and 2 Tbsp. maple syrup; season with salt and pepper, then spread in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Roast squash until fork-tender, 1820 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook farro with water according to package directions, then stir in arugula, cranberries, and chopped sage.

Whisk together oil, vinegar, remaining 1 Tbsp. maple syrup, Dijon, and nutmeg; stir into farro mixture.

Top farro mixture with squash, walnuts, and sage leaves.
