Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the acorn squash halves on the baking sheet cut-side up. Drizzle with olive oil, maple syrup, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Use your hands to coat the squash. Sprinkle the sage and/or rosemary into the center of the squash and roast until tender and golden brown around the edges, 25 to 40 minutes depending on the size of your squash.

Step 3

Season to taste and serve hot as a side dish, or pair it with herbed farro to make it a meal.
