The pumpkin and potatoes are done when they are tender and golden brown around the edges. You can check for doneness by piercing them with a fork; they should be soft and easy to cut.
Yes, you can substitute hazelnuts with walnuts or pecans, depending on your preference. Just make sure to toast them as indicated for added flavor.
A large baking sheet is recommended, ideally around 18x13 inches (half sheet size). This allows enough space for the pumpkin and potatoes to roast evenly without overcrowding.
To make this salad vegan, substitute the butter with a plant-based butter or olive oil when wilting the spinach. Ensure the other ingredients are also vegan-friendly.
