- 2 medium acorn squash
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp chipotle powder
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
How to make Roasted Acorn Squash with Maple-Chipotle Glaze and Toasted Pepitas
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the 2 medium acorn squash by halving them, scooping out the seeds, and then slicing them into 1/2-inch crescent moon shapes. In a large bowl, toss the squash slices with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each piece for optimal roasting.
- Roast for 20 minutes, then carefully flip the squash slices. Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized.
- While the squash roasts, prepare the maple-chipotle glaze. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/2 tsp chipotle powder, and 1 tsp apple cider vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
- In a small dry skillet, toast 1/4 cup pepitas over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly golden and begin to pop. Be careful not to burn them.
- Once the squash is tender, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the maple-chipotle glaze generously over the roasted squash, tossing gently to coat evenly.
- Transfer the glazed squash to a serving dish, sprinkle with the toasted pepitas, and serve warm.
