Roasted Acorn Squash and Honey image

Few side dishes are better on a cool fall evening than roasted acorn squash sweetened with just a little honey and made even mellower with nutmeg and fresh sage leaves. When I catch a whiff of it coming from the oven, I feel warm and comforted, and you will, too.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 acorn squash (about 1 pound each)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon grated fresh nutmeg
2 tablespoons honey
8 sage leaves, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Split the squash in half and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Cut the squash halves into quarters and place in a mixing bowl, leaving the skin on the squash sections. Toss the squash with the olive oil, nutmeg, honey, and sage leaves. Lay the squash pieces, cut sides down, on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the squash flesh begins to turn golden brown and is tender. Season the squash with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the squash on a serving platter.

I'm not usually a fan of squash, but this recipe changed my mind. The sweetness of the honey and the nutty flavor of the squash were a perfect combination.
