Preheat oven to 425ºF.Sliced squash in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and stringy flesh. Slice the squash halves crosswise into 1/2-inch thick half moons.In a large bowl, combine olive oil, maple syrup, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and cinnamon; whisk to combine. Add squash slices and toss well to coat.Arrange squash on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, tossing once halfway through. During the final 5 minutes, scatter pumpkin seeds on baking sheet. Toss with squash to allow the spices to coat seeds.

While the squash roasts, place shallots in a small bowl and toss with apple cider vinegar. Let sit until ready to assemble salad (at least 25 minutes).

Prepare Creamy Maple-Mustard Dressing by combining all dressing ingredients in a jar with a fitted lid or bowl. Shake, or whisk well to combine. Set aside.

Place chopped kale in a large bowl. Add 1 to 2 Tbsp. dressing and gently massage dressing into kale leaves just long enough so they soften (about 15 seconds).Transfer kale to a large serving platter and top with roasted squash and pumpkin seeds, avocado, goat cheese, and pomegranate. Drain vinegar from shallots, and scatter pickled shallots overtop. Drizzle salad with remaining dressing.
