Maple Roasted Acorn Squash

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Line a large half sheet baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Carefully cut squash in half from the top to bottom (tip through the stem). Use a spoon to scrape out the strings and seeds. Slice the squash crosswise into ½ inch wide slices. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, stir together olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Pour into the bowl of squash and toss to combine.

Step 4

Transfer the squash to the lined baking tray in a single layer. Pour any remaining sauce over top.

Step 5

Bake for 40 minutes, or until squash is tender when pierced with a knife.
