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 firm, ripe acorn squash: Look for squash that is deep green in color and has no blemishes or soft spots.
- Cut the squash into even-sized wedges: This will help them cook evenly.
- Toss the squash wedges with oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them brown and caramelize in the oven.
- Roast the squash wedges at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Add fresh herbs and spices to the squash: This will give them extra flavor.
- Serve the squash wedges immediately: They are best when they are hot and crispy.
