SWEET-ROASTED ROSEMARY ACORN SQUASH WEDGES image

Number Of Ingredients 6

■2 whole Acorn Squash, Cut Into 8 Wedges Each
■4 dashes Olive Oil
■Salt To Taste
■1/2 stick Butter
■1/4 cup Brown Sugar (lightly Packed)
■1 Tablespoons Rosemary (minced)

Steps:

  • Place wedges in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt, then roast in a 350-degree oven for 20 minutes. Combine butter, brown sugar, salt, and rosemary in a bowl and mix into a paste. Remove squash from oven and smear paste all over squash. Return to the oven for 30 minutes, until brown and caramelized. Halfway through roasting, your paste will have become a sauce. Brush sauce over the top of the squash and then continue roasting until time is complete. Serve in the baking dish, drizzling more sauce at the end. Yummy!

Tips:

- Choose the right squash: Butternut squash, acorn squash, and kabocha squash are all great choices for roasting. Look for firm, unblemished squash with deep coloring. - Prepare the squash properly: Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Drizzle the squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat. - Roast the squash at a high temperature: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Roast the squash for 25-35 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly caramelized. - Add flavor with herbs and spices: For a more flavorful roast squash, add some herbs and spices to the olive oil before tossing the squash. Some good choices include thyme, rosemary, sage, garlic powder, and onion powder. - Serve the squash with a variety of dipping sauces: Roasted squash is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of dipping sauces. Some good choices include hummus, tahini sauce, or yogurt sauce.
