Honey Glazed Acorn Squash

Acorn squash caramelized with honey, paired with goat cheese and cranberry drizzle for sweet-savory flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 small acorn squashes, halved, seeds removed
  • Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish
  • 120 grams creamy goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 60 milliliters cranberry sauce or compote

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Cut acorn squashes in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  3. Brush cut sides of squash halves with olive oil and honey. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Arrange squash halves cut side up on a baking tray. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until flesh is tender and edges are caramelized.
