Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 acorn squash (1 1/2 pounds) (seeded, halved and sliced into 3/4" pieces); 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1/4 cup maple syrup; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted); 1 minced garlic clove; salt and pepper to taste; fried sage leaves, optional

In a large mixing bowl toss together squash, oil, salt, and pepper.

In a small mixing bowl combine syrup, melted butter, and garlic.

Spoon half the syrup mixture onto the squash and toss together until evenly coated.

Line a sheet with parchment paper. Spread squash pieces onto the prepared baking sheet in a single, even layer.

Roast squash for about 15 minutes or until squash begins to soften. Flip each piece and brush with more syrup mixture.

Continue to roast for an additional 12 to 15 minutes until fork tender and lightly caramelized.

Top with fried sage, if using, and serve.
