Steps:
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Using a large, sharp knife, halve squash lengthwise (through the stem end and the pointy end). Using a spoon, scrape out seeds and fibers. Place each half, cut side down, on a cutting board; slice off about 3/4 inch from each end and discard. Slice squash crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick half-rings. If desired, trim away any remaining fibers by running a paring knife around the inside of each half-ring. Place in an even layer on prepared baking sheet.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove pan from heat and add maple syrup, vanilla, and cardamom; stir to combine. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush squash pieces with a little less than half the butter mixture; season with salt. Turn and brush with remaining butter mixture, reserving a tablespoon. Season lightly with salt.
- Transfer to oven and roast for 12 minutes; rotate baking sheet. Using tongs, turn squash and continue to roast until browned and tender, 10 to 12 minutes more. Remove from oven and turn, using tongs, so that darker side is facing up.
- Reheat remaining tablespoon butter mixture over low heat; brush over squash and serve.

Steps:
- Cut squash into 1/2 inch slices; discard seeds. In a large roasting pan, layer squash rings and add hot water to the depth of 1/4 inch. Cover and bake at 350* for 20 minutes. Transfer each ring to an ungreased 15-inchX10 inchX1 inch baking pan. In small bowl mix corn syrup and orange juice. Brush over squash. Bake uncovered, at 350* for 30-40 minutes or until tender, basting every 10 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash: For this recipe, it's best to use acorn squash or butternut squash. These squashes have a sweet flavor and firm texture that holds up well to baking.
- Cut the squash into even-sized rings: This will help them cook evenly. If the rings are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not soften all the way through.
- Toss the squash rings with oil and seasonings: This will help them to brown and caramelize in the oven. You can use any type of oil you like, but olive oil or melted butter are good choices.
- Roast the squash rings at a high temperature: This will help them to caramelize and get a crispy exterior. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- Make the glaze while the squash is roasting: This will give the flavors time to develop. You can use any type of glaze you like, but a simple glaze made with maple syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon is a good option.
- Brush the squash rings with the glaze: Do this halfway through the roasting time and again at the end. This will help them to get a sticky, caramelized glaze.
- Serve the squash rings hot: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. You can garnish them with chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color.
Conclusion:
Glazed squash rings are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
