Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 300°F (150°C). Wrap pumpkin pieces in foil with butter; seal tightly and bake 35 minutes until just tender.
  2. Open foil carefully to release steam; let pumpkin cool to warm room temperature.
  3. Increase oven to 450°F (230°C). Toss pumpkin with a little olive oil, season, and warm on a skillet/tray for 2 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, gently toss warm pumpkin with arugula and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
  5. Plate and garnish with goat cheese, plus more glaze and olive oil as desired.
