Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 acorn squash seeds removed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Drizzle the cut acorn squash with the olive oil (cover all the surface of the cut acorn squash) and then the maple syrup, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Don't worry if the syrup pools in the bottom of the squash.
  • Roast in a preheated 425-F oven for about 20 minutes, then using a spoon, baste the squash by spooning some of the maple syrup which is pooled in the squash, and drizzling it over the insides.
  • Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the squash is fork tender. Serve and enjoy!
