- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roast orange until caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes. In a blender, combine caramelized orange, ginger, chile, oil, and salt with ½ cup water and puree until smooth. Add a little more water if necessary to loosen slightly.
- In a bowl, toss together peanuts, peppers, cilantro, and salt. Add a few drops of grapeseed oil and 2 tablespoons of orange chutney dressing. Set aside.
- Make the squash: Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees. Brush cut-side of squash with oil and season with salt. Roast until deeply browned, about 35 minutes.
- Cut squash into 2- to 3-inch portions and top with peanut relish. Garnish with mustard greens.
