Delicious Maple Roasted Acorn Squash Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 medium acorn squash (halved and seeded)
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (for roasting)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Squash

    Slice the acorn squash in half and scoop out the seeds.

    Use a sturdy spoon to remove seeds easily.
  3. Add Maple Syrup and Oil

    Drizzle the inside of the squash halves with maple syrup and olive oil.

    Spread evenly for best flavor distribution.
  4. Season the Squash

    Sprinkle cinnamon, salt, and black pepper over the squash.

    Adjust spices to your taste preference.
  5. Roast the Squash

    Place the squash halves cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes.

    Check for tenderness with a fork; it should easily pierce the flesh.
