Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with a nonstick backing mat or parchment paper. 
  • Add pumpkin, brussel sprouts and kale to the baking sheet along with rosemary, thyme and sage. Toss with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and use your hands to coat the veggies evenly in the oil and herbs. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until veggies are tender and cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside to cool. If the pasta is sticky, toss in a small amount of olive oil to help.
  • Prepare the dressing by whisking olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, dijon mustard, champagne vinegar, shallot, garlic and salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss cooked veggies and cooked pasta into the bowl with the dressing and coat evenly with the dressing. 
  • Serve with vegan parmesan to top. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
