Ingredients
-
1 medium acorn squash, halved, seeded and cut into 12 wedges
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground pepper
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
-
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
-
1 teaspoon lemon juice
-
3 tablespoons pepitas, toasted
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 450°F.
-
Toss squash with oil, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, whisk butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat until melted. Cook until the solids at the bottom begin to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in sage, maple syrup and lemon juice.

Flip the squash and spoon the butter mixture over the top. Continue roasting until golden and tender, 8 to 10 minutes more. Serve sprinkled with pepitas.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
