Sweet and savoury, this roasted squash recipe is the perfect fall side dish. Microwaving the squash before cutting it into wedges makes it much easier to slice.
1 large acorn squash
2 tbsp canola oil
3 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp salt
PREHEAT oven to 400F.
MICROWAVE squash on high, 4 min. Cut into 8 wedges. Remove and discard seeds.
MIX canola oil with maple syrup and salt. Reserve 2 tbsp in a small bowl. Toss remaining mixture with squash on a foil-lined baking sheet.
ROAST 20 min. Brush remaining maple mixture over squash and continue cooking until fork-tender, about 15 more min.
