Sweet, caramelized edges, a soft, buttery interior, and a hint of maple syrup make these acorn squash rings the perfect fall side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium acorn squash, washed and dried
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the acorn squash into 1/2-inch thick rings and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and fibrous bits from each ring.
  3. In a small bowl, mix maple syrup, olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  4. Arrange the squash rings on the prepared baking sheet and brush or drizzle the maple mixture over each ring, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
  5. Roast the squash rings for 20 minutes, then flip them carefully using tongs or a spatula. Brush them again with any remaining glaze.
  6. Bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the rings are tender and caramelized around the edges.
  7. Let the rings cool slightly before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm.

Notes

Keep an eye on the squash during the last few minutes of roasting to prevent the glaze from burning. Use fresh spices for enhanced flavor, and flip the rings carefully to avoid tearing.
