How to Make Acorn Squash With Dried Fruit And Granola Compote

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Halve the acorn squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp.
3. Brush the cut sides of the squash with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
4. Place the squash halves, cut-side down, on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes, or until tender.
5. While the squash is roasting, prepare the compote: In a medium saucepan, combine the dried cranberries, raisins, chopped apricots, granola, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and slightly thickened (about 8-10 minutes).
6. Once the squash is tender, remove from oven and let cool slightly. Spoon the warm compote generously over each squash half.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with a sprinkle of extra granola, if desired.
