ROASTED ACORN SQUASH AND HONEY

- Prepare the squash properly: Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast the squash until tender: Place the squash cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 425°F for 30-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender.
- Make the honey glaze: While the squash is roasting, make the honey glaze by combining honey, butter, Dijon mustard, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Glaze the squash: Once the squash is roasted, brush the honey glaze over the cut sides and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized.
