Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 small acorn squashes, quartered and seeded
Canola oil, for baking sheet
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put squash pieces, skin sides down, on a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Bake squashes until tender when pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven, and brush each slice with butter. Keep warm until serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for acorn squash that are small to medium in size, about 1 to 2 pounds each. They should be firm and have a deep orange color.
  • Prepare the squash: Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast the squash: Place the squash cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 425°F for 30-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender.
  • Make the agrodolce sauce: While the squash is roasting, make the agrodolce sauce by combining equal parts red wine vinegar, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Combine the squash and sauce: Once the squash is roasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the agrodolce sauce over the squash and serve.
