Next, preheat your oven to 400o. Toss butternut squash and brussels sprouts onto one baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss with sea salt, pepper, a handful of rosemary and thyme. Toss together and make sure veggies are well coated. Place in the oven for 20-30 minutes to roast.
-
On another baking sheet with parchment paper, slice up your apples and spray with avocado oil or toss in a tsp of melted coconut oil. Pop in oven for about 10 minutes to cook through.
-
While veggies are roasting, make your dressing by combining all ingredients in a high speed blender.
-
Pour dressing over kale and toss to combine. Add veggies and apples, then top with pomegranate seeds.
-
Lastly, slice up your Chomps Cranberry Habanero Beef Sticks and toss onto the salad.
-
Mix the salad together one last time and then enjoy!
