- 3 lbs honeynut squash
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper

- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon

How to make Roasted Honeynut Squash with Spiced Maple Glaze and Toasted Pepitas
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Carefully halve the 3 lbs honeynut squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. You can leave the skin on as it is edible and softens during roasting.
- Place the squash halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then season evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Roast the squash for 25-30 minutes, or until the flesh is tender when pierced with a fork and the edges are lightly caramelized.
- While the squash roasts, prepare the spiced maple glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and a pinch of ground cloves until well combined.
- In a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast 1/4 cup pepitas for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly golden and begin to pop. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
- Once the squash is tender, remove it from the oven. Brush the cut surfaces of the roasted squash generously with the spiced maple glaze. Return the squash to the oven and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbling and slightly caramelized.
- Carefully remove the glazed squash from the oven. Sprinkle the toasted pepitas over the top of the squash halves before serving.
- Serve the Roasted Honeynut Squash warm as a vibrant and flavorful Thanksgiving side dish.
