Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb. acorn squash $1.13
- 1 Tbsp olive oil $0.16
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup $0.30
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika $0.05
- 1/4 tsp salt $0.02
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Wash the squash well, then dry with a clean towel. Carefully cut the acorn squash in half lengthwise (from top to bottom), then scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Slice the squash crosswise into 1/2-inch wide slices.
- In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and salt. Place the sliced squash in a bowl, then pour the maple syrup glaze over top. Stir the squash until it is evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then arrange the seasoned squash slices on the sheet in a single layer. Use a rubber spatula to scrape all the remaining glaze out of the bowl and onto the squash slices.
- Roast the squash slices for 40 minutes, or until it is very tender. Season with a pinch of salt, then serve.
