Rice with Roasted Butternut Squash
Healthy, because

Nutritional values
The Butternut squash provides us with a lot of beta-carotene. On the one hand, the secondary plant substance acts as an antioxidant, and at the same time it is a precursor of vitamin A, which is important for healthy eyes and radiant skin. Pomegranate seeds are bursting with secondary plant compounds that protect our cells from environmental irritants.
Unfortunately, pumpkin is not in season all year round. Alternatively, you can use sweet potatoes or carrots for the vegan dish. If you can't get fresh bay leaves, use dried ones instead.
