Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F / 200c.
  • Cut the acorn squash in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and any tough fibers.
  • Place the cut side down on a chopping board and cut the squash across into 1-1½ inch slices.
  • Place the cut squash in a bowl ad add the maple syrup, oil, salt and pepper and sliced garlic. Toss together.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and place the squash slices in a single layer.
  • Roast in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes til fork tender and browned.

Notes

  • Cut the slices of squash as evenly as you can so that they cook through evenly.
  • Roast the acorn squash on a parchment lined baking sheet as the maple syrup will be very difficult to remove.
  • The squash is cooked when it is fork tender and has started to brown.
