Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 2 lb) butternut squash
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 4 large eggs
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup pepitas
- 1 lemon
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Peel the squash, scoop out the seeds, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes so they roast evenly.
- 2Toss the squash cubes on the sheet with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until every piece is lightly coated. Spread in a single layer with space between pieces.
- 3Roast for 22 to 28 minutes, flipping halfway, until the edges are deeply golden and caramelized and a fork slides through easily.
- 4While the squash roasts, halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the parsley and chives. Keep them ready for quick assembly.
- 5Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with a light film of oil. Crack in the eggs and cook sunny-side up or over-easy for 3 to 4 minutes until whites are set and yolks still jammy.
- 6In the last minute of egg cooking, wilt the spinach in the same pan or a separate skillet just until bright green and barely collapsed, about 45 seconds.
- 7Divide the roasted squash among four wide shallow bowls. Top each with wilted spinach, halved tomatoes, and a fried egg.
- 8Scatter feta, pepitas, parsley, and chives over the bowls. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and an extra grind of pepper. Serve family-style on a platter so guests can add more herbs.
