Instructions

Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F) and position rack in the centre.

Wash squash, trim ends, and peel. Halve lengthwise, scape out seeds, and medium dice the flesh.

Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Finely grate ⅓ cup of Parmesan.

Melt butter in skillet. Add garlic and sage; stir until fragrant. Add bread cubes and toast, tossing often, until they begin to brown, 4-5 minutes.

In a medium bowl, prepare dressing by whisking together olive oil, vinegar, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Add Parmesan, pumpkin seeds, salt, and pepper to croutons; continue to toss until bread is golden brown and crispy, 2-3 minutes more. Remove from heat.

Wash, core, and thinly slice apples; add to salad bowl. Peel and thinly slice shallots; add to salad bowl.

Add squash, croutons, and pumpkin seeds to salad bowl; toss to combine.
