Roasted Acorn Squash and Honey

This roasted acorn squash with honey and sage is a beautiful representation of simple, seasonal cooking. The natural sweetness of the squash is enhanced by a light glaze of honey and the earthy, aromatic notes of fresh sage and nutmeg. As the squash roasts, the skin softens and the flesh becomes buttery and golden, creating a sophisticated side dish that pairs brilliantly with roasted meats or hearty grain salads.

As a low-sugar vegetable dish, it offers a healthier way to satisfy a sweet palate while providing plenty of fibre and essential nutrients. It is an ideal accompaniment for a Sunday roast or a festive midweek supper, requiring very little preparation time. Serve these warm wedges on a platter to showcase their vibrant colour and rustic charm at the dinner table.

Ingredients for Roasted Acorn Squash and Honey

  • 2 acorn squash (about 450g each)

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/4 teaspoons grated fresh nutmeg

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 8 sage leaves, chopped

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

How to make Roasted Acorn Squash and Honey

Preheat the oven to 177°C. Split the squash in half and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Cut the squash halves into quarters and place in a mixing bowl, leaving the skin on the squash sections. Toss the squash with the olive oil, nutmeg, honey, and sage leaves. Lay the squash pieces, cut sides down, on a baking sheet.
