Steps to make Sweet & Spicy Maple Acorn Squash:
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Clean the outside of your squash.
- Cut the stem and blossom ends off
- Cut it in half, I prefer pole to pole so the skinned sections (the already cut stem and blossom ends) are on the ends instead of the middle
- Using a metal table spoon (I find works well) clean the seed pockets out.
- Now slice wedges from the squash. Thinner cooks quicker, is slightly more crunchy with more black bits (the good stuff)
- Mix the oil and maple syrup in a bowl large enough to hold all the squash wedges.
- Mix the squash wedges carefully until all are completely covered I the sauce.
- Using parchment or as I did here, just use a spray oil to coat a baking sheet. Lay your squash wedges out with some spacing.
- Using just pinches of salt at a time, put some on each wedge.
- Using just pinches at a time, sprinkle crushed red pepper on the wedges. The amount you see on mine is a nice bite off heat without overpowering you. But adjust the amount for your taste.
- Place on middle rack of oven. Cook 40-50 minutes. These were 50 minutes.
- Serve immediately. Note - the skin is edible, try a bite first. The flesh comes off the skin very easily if you choose to not eat the skin.
