- 2 1/2 LBs of winter squash (carnival, delicata, acorn, butternut)
- 2 tbsp plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 400°. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Half, deseed and slice squash into 1/3 inch slices. Toss each with 1 Tbsp oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper.

Spread half of greens over a serving platter or bottom of a wide bowl, then add half of squash, pearl onions, goat cheese, and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with half of dressing; repeat with remaining ingredients and dressing. Toss lightly; serve immediately.
