Candied Seeds
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the candied seeds. In a small pan, simmer maple syrup and nutmeg on a medium low heat until the syrup is hot and bubbling. Add in pumpkin and/or sunflower seeds. I used a combo of both.
Add in butter and stir real well making sure the seeds are coated. Take the candied seeds off the oven, and spread them on a parchment paper. Let it cool before using them as a topping.
Salad dressing
Combine olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Whisk well.
Assemble the salad. Top it off with candied seeds, strawberry slices, feta cheese, and prosciutto (optional).
