Ingredients

  • 1 acorn squash cut in half, seeds and strings scooped out
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Celtic or Himalayan salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • Wash acorn squash well using a spoonful of white vinegar and warm water, removing any dirt.
  • Cut acorn squash in half, lengthwise, then scoop out strings and seeds from center cavity. 
  • Using a heavy, sharp knife, cut each squash half into thin ½” thick strips - they will look like rainbows/half moons. 
  • Add squash slices to a large bowl. 
  • Drizzle olive oil, salt, and pepper over squash, toss to evenly coat and season. 
  • Lay squash rings onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper, so they are not touching. 
  • Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping once around 15 minutes, until soft and lightly browned. 
  • If squash cooks to golden brown faster, remove when browned. 
  • Sprinkle garlic salt, maldon salt flakes, aleppo pepper, za’atar, or sumac as desired to garnish. 
  • Enjoy!
