Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Honey Cinnamon Roasted Acorn Squash.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 450°F (230°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a baking sheet and line it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, then give it a light spritz of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss together your acorn squash slices with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
Step 4
Make sure each slice is beautifully coated for maximum flavor.
Step 5
Next, lay the squash slices out in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
To add a touch of sweetness, drizzle honey over the top and sprinkle cinnamon for that warm, inviting aroma.
Step 7
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the squash bake for about 20 minutes.
Step 8
After that, carefully flip each slice over to ensure even cooking, and let them bake for another 10 minutes until they’re tender and have developed a lovely golden-brown color.
Step 9
Once they’re done, transfer the roasted squash to a serving plate, and for a delightful finishing touch, sprinkle crumbled blue cheese, sliced green onions, and chopped smoked almonds on top.
Step 10
This dish not only looks stunning but also offers a wonderful blend of flavors and textures that will impress your family and friends.
Step 11
Enjoy your delicious creation!.
