Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 acorn squash, seeds removed, cut into 1-inch wedges
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup pomegranate juice
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 small clove garlic, lightly smashed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 475 degrees F. Toss the squash in a large bowl with the melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Spread out on the hot baking sheet and roast until tender and browned, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the pomegranate juice, maple syrup, vinegar, chile powder, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until reduced to about 1/3 cup, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the garlic.
  • Arrange the squash on a platter. Drizzle with the pomegranate glaze and top with the parsley.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pomegranate seeds. I always have some left over from making pomegranate juice.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my glaze turned out way too thick. I had to add some water to thin it out.

I'm not a huge fan of acorn squash, but this recipe changed my mind. The glaze was amazing and the squash was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a savory glaze instead.
