Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 2 acorn squash, sliced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • pomegranate arils, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
  • Slice the acorn squash into large chunks. Skin on is totally okay.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, oregano, basil, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the acorn squash in the marinade. Roast for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the squash from the oven. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Roast an additional 10 minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden brown. Crispy cheese is the best, dudes.
  • To make the pomegranate honey, fold the pomegranate molasses and red pepper flakes into the honey. When the squash is finished, drizzle honey over the slices and sprinkle with pomegranate arils.
