Meet your new favorite side dish: sweet roasted acorn squash. This dish will turn anyone who finds acorn squash questionable and make them question why they were questioning it in the first place. (That’s a lot of questions).

The tang from the cheese and pomegranate mixed with the sweetness of the maple cinnamon acorn squash is truly a flavor combination you don’t want to pass up.

Did I mention this also couldn’t be easier to throw together? Wins all around.

Wash and dry acorn squash and slice along the ridges. Mix in a bowl with the other ingredients, lay on a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake at 400 for 20 min and flip and bake for another 10 min
Add to your serving dish and top with pomegranate seeds, crumbly cheese of choice, and maple syrup. Serve warm.

Notes

My acorn squash was on the smaller side, so adjust seasonings as necessary. I used Wensleydale cheese with cranberries here but any soft/crumbly cheese will do.
