Ingredients

1 medium acorn squash
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
2 tablespoons orange juice
Pepitas for garnishing, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F and lightly grease a large sheet pan. Set aside for a moment.
Cut acorn squash into quarters and remove seeds with a spoon. Thinly slice acorn squash 1/4-inch thick into rings.
Toss acorn squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange squash in a single layer on prepared sheet pan.
Roast acorn squash at 400F 20-25 minutes until squash is tender and golden brown.
