Squash And Kale Tacos With Goat Cheese And Crispy Onions

• 1 small butternut squash (any winter squash may be substituted, except for spaghetti)
• 5 tablespoons olive oil - divided per below
• 1/2 teaspoon + pinch salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• 1 medium onion, vertically sliced

• 4 oz. goat cheese, crumbled (feta would work well too)
• 4 soft corn tortillas

1. Cut squash in half, place face down in baking dish with 1/2 inch water. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 F.
2. Remove squash from oven and allow to cool. Peel and cut into 1/2 inch cubes.
3. Toss squash cubes in 2 tbs. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. cumin and 1/2 tsp. cayenne. Spread on cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 350 F, flipping cubes w/ spatula after 10 minutes.
4. Heat 1 tbs. olive oil in pan, add onions and saute till soft and start to brown/crisp
5. In a second pan, heat remaining 2 tbs. olive oil. Add minced garlic and pinch of salt. Sautee till fragrant, add torn kale, tossing so coated evenly in oil and garlic. Cook 1-3 minutes till kale cooked through to desired level.
