Maple Pecan Goat Cheese Roasted Acorn Squash
Roasted Acorn Squash!
You Need:
2 medium acorn squashes
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
How to Make:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F
2. Cut each acorn squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
3. Place the squash halves cut side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the flesh is tender when pierced with a fork.
4. While the squash roasts, roughly chop the pecans and crumble the goat cheese.
5. Remove the squash from the oven and turn the halves cut side up. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with chopped pecans and crumbled goat cheese.
6. Return the squash to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the maple syrup to caramelize slightly and the cheese to warm.
7. Let the squash cool for a few minutes before transferring to a serving dish. Optionally, drizzle with extra maple syrup and sprinkle with additional pecans and goat cheese.
8. Serve warm and enjoy the sweet, savory, and creamy flavors of FALL!
