Ingredients
- 1 acorn squash
- 2 tsp cinnamon and/or pumpkin spice mix
- 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper (or chile powder, whichever)
- 2 TB olive oil on pan and squash mix
- 2 TB maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- dash of salt (and pepper if you’d like)
- half lemon zest and 2 TB lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400º F. Will cook for 35 minutes.
- Combine all the dried ingredients and wet ingredients in separate bowls.
- Cut the acorn squash into about 1 inch pieces, leaving the skin on or off depending on your preference. I leave the skin on because it is edible and you can just eat around it. Alot less work.
- Put the squash pieces in the wet mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Once all the pieces are evenly covered, then put all the spices on top and mix again. Put all the pieces on the pan.
