Test Kitchen Tip
It might feel counterintuitive to leave the skins on the squash, but they’re edible and soften during roasting.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper coated with nonstick spray.
Toss together squash and 2 Tbsp. maple syrup; season with salt and pepper, then spread in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Roast squash until fork-tender, 18–20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook farro with water according to package directions, then stir in arugula, cranberries, and chopped sage.
Whisk together oil, vinegar, remaining 1 Tbsp. maple syrup, Dijon, and nutmeg; stir into farro mixture.
Top farro mixture with squash, walnuts, and sage leaves.
For quick, even roasting, try to cut the squash into uniform-sized pieces, about 1-inch.
