Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups fresh pomegranate juice (about 7 pomegranates), plus seeds from 1/2 pomegranate for garnish
1/4 cup sugar
5 whole allspice
5 whole black peppercorns
1 dried bay leaf
1/2 cinnamon stick
Unsalted butter, melted, for brushing, plus more at room temperature for pan
3 acorn squash, sliced into 1-inch-thick rings, seeds removed
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small saucepan, combine the juice, sugar, allspice, peppercorns, bay leaf, and cinnamon. Simmer until reduced to a syrup. Drain through a fine sieve into a small bowl, and discard spices.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Butter parchment. Lay the squash rings on top of parchment; brush tops with melted butter, and season with salt.
  • Roast the squash until tender when pierced with a paring knife and undersides are well browned, about 30 minutes. Turn squash over, and brush tops with pomegranate glaze. Continue cooking 5 minutes more. Remove from oven; brush squash again with glaze. Transfer to a serving platter; serve immediately, garnished with pomegranate seeds.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover squash. I had some roasted squash in the fridge and I decided to try this recipe. It was a great decision! The glaze was the perfect complement to the squash.
