Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
1 acorn squash - halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ounce crumbled blue cheese
2 green onions, thinly sliced
12 smoked almonds, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

I'm allergic to honey, so I used maple syrup instead. It turned out just as delicious.

This recipe is a bit too simple for my taste. I like to add some chopped shallots and garlic to the glaze.

I followed the recipe exactly and the squash came out undercooked. I had to put it back in the oven for an extra 15 minutes.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The squash is always perfectly roasted and the glaze is to die for.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover squash. I added a few chopped pecans to the glaze and it was amazing.

I'm not a big fan of squash, but this recipe changed my mind. The honey and cinnamon really make it special.

The squash was a little too sweet for my taste, but the glaze was amazing. I'll try it again with less honey next time.
