A delightful twist on a classic dish, this maple roasted acorn squash recipe is both flavorful and easy to prepare.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal caramelization.
Cut the acorn squash in half and remove the seeds. Slice each half into 1-inch thick wedges.
Use a sturdy knife to safely cut through the squash.
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper.
Ensure the butter is fully melted for easy mixing.
Arrange the squash wedges on a baking sheet and brush them with the maple glaze.
Apply the glaze generously for maximum flavor.
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Flipping the squash ensures even roasting on both sides.
Serve the roasted squash warm, garnished with additional maple syrup or fresh herbs if desired.
Serving warm enhances the flavors and texture of the dish.
