Cooking with Seeds: 100 Delicious Recipes for the Foods You LoveThese cover-worthy roasted squash wedges are loaded with two different seeds, spiced up with ginger and Fresno chiles, and jazzed up with a quick drizzle of rice vinegar. For dipping, serve with the Miso Sesame Spread. Dividing the squash between two trays gives them enough room to cook and pick up a little color, rather than just steam.
