DELICATA SQUASH WITH SWEET & SAVORY GREENS

From getwellgrounded.com

1 Delicata Squash
1 cup Leeks or onions, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbls.+ 1 tsp. olive oil
1 bunch chard, washed
2 tsp. maple syrup
1 to 2 Tbls. tamari sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Wash squash well, cut in half lengthwise and scrape out seeds. Cut each half into strips that are about 1-inch wide, then chop these into ½-inch “wedges”. In a bowl, mix together squash, leek or onion, garlic and 2 Tbls. olive oil and spread out onto a cookie sheet, season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes until soft. Meanwhile remove stalks from chard and slice them as you would celery. In a large pan, sauté chard stalks in 1 tsp. olive oil for 3 to 5 minutes on medium heat. Stir in tamari and maple syrup, continue cooking another 2 minutes. Add chopped or torn chard leaves to the pan, stir and cook until wilted. Combine with cooked squash and serve over rice. Serves 4.
