Autumnal Roasted Acorn Squash Wedges

Now that the temperature is truly dropping, we’ve been tucking into hearty meals packed with tasty and nutritious seasonal vegetables. Paired with a generous glass of Mighty Brew kombucha of course!

A seasonal special

Acorn squash wedges baked with herbs and spices make such a simple and tasty meal. The peak season for acorn squash is October to March. We love to make the most out of this deliciously sweet, honeyed vegetable while it’s in season.

When you roast squash, the flavour becomes more intensified and a little sweeter. The flesh of the squash retains the moisture while the outer part caramelizes to a wonderful golden brown. Watch out not to char the wedges too much before the inside is soft and fully cooked.

Ingredients

  • Medium squash cut into thick wedges (pumpkin also works well)
  • 3 or 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
  • Dash hot/smoked paprika (or harissa to give it an extra kick)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs or 2 teaspoons dried (we like rosemary, oregano or sage)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon, optional

Cooking instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF / 180ºC.
  • Cut the whole squash in half and scoop out the seeds.

  • Arrange the squash wedges, cut side up, on a baking tray.
