This recipe contains squash (acorn), olive oil, maple syrup, curry powder, salt

2 - 3 Servings

Prep time: 15 min

Cook time: 30 min

Ingredients:

• 1 large acorn squash (a bit over a pound)
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tbsp. maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp. curry (depending on how strong you want the curry flavor to be)
• salt

Instructions:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• 2. Rinse the outside of the acorn squash and then chop it in half. Seed the squash and chop off the stem. Next, slice it into one-inch wedges. I like to use the natural grooves on the squash as a guide for thickness.
• 3. Place the sliced acorn squash in a medium-sized bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and stir until everything is well incorporated.
• 4. Lay the acorn squash in a single layer on top of the lined baking sheet, cut side down.
• 5. Bake for about 15 minutes. Flip the acorn squash slices to the other side so that both sides will be browned equally.
• 6. Bake the squash for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the pieces can be easily pierced with a fork.
