ROASTED ACORN SQUASH WITH POMEGRANATE GLAZE



Roasted Acorn Squash with Pomegranate Glaze image

Pomegranate seeds and glaze add bright color and flavor to acorn squash.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups fresh pomegranate juice (about 7 pomegranates), plus seeds from 1/2 pomegranate for garnish
1/4 cup sugar
5 whole allspice
5 whole black peppercorns
1 dried bay leaf
1/2 cinnamon stick
Unsalted butter, melted, for brushing, plus more at room temperature for pan
3 acorn squash, sliced into 1-inch-thick rings, seeds removed
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small saucepan, combine the juice, sugar, allspice, peppercorns, bay leaf, and cinnamon. Simmer until reduced to a syrup. Drain through a fine sieve into a small bowl, and discard spices.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Butter parchment. Lay the squash rings on top of parchment; brush tops with melted butter, and season with salt.
  • Roast the squash until tender when pierced with a paring knife and undersides are well browned, about 30 minutes. Turn squash over, and brush tops with pomegranate glaze. Continue cooking 5 minutes more. Remove from oven; brush squash again with glaze. Transfer to a serving platter; serve immediately, garnished with pomegranate seeds.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe acorn squash: Look for squash that is deep green in color and has a hard shell. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
  • Cut the squash in half lengthwise: This will make it easier to roast and remove the seeds.
  • Scoop out the seeds: Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp from the center of the squash.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and season: Brush the squash with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, paprika, or cumin.
  • Roast the squash until tender: Roast the squash at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly browned.
  • Make the harissa glaze: While the squash is roasting, make the harissa glaze by combining harissa paste, honey, olive oil, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  • Brush the squash with the harissa glaze: Once the squash is roasted, brush it with the harissa glaze. Return the squash to the oven and roast for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.

Conclusion:

Roasted acorn squash with harissa glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for fall. The squash is roasted until tender and slightly browned, then brushed with a sweet and spicy harissa glaze. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing. This recipe is sure to impress your guests at your next dinner party.
