Roasted Squash Wedges

We used acorn squash for this recipe, but other types, such as butternut or pumpkin, work as well.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

2 acorn squash
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 400°F. Cut the squash in half through the stem end, and remove the seeds. Cut each half into 3 wedges, 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick. Place the wedges in a large roasting pan.

    Step 2

    Toss with the butter, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Roast the squash, tossing occasionally, until tender and golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes.
