How to Make Maple Glazed Acorn Squash
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Wash and dry the acorn squash. Cut off the top and bottom stems.
- Slice the squash crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Use a small cookie cutter or a sharp knife to carefully remove the seeds and stringy pulp from the center of each slice.
- Arrange the squash slices in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Pour the maple glaze evenly over the arranged squash slices.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then flip the squash slices and baste with remaining glaze.
- Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the glaze is caramelized and slightly browned.
- If you desire a more deeply browned glaze, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
