Ingredients

  • 1 Acorn squash
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon harissa
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Wash and dry the acorn squash. Slice off the top stem section. Slice squash in half lengthwise and then scoop out the seeds. Slice squash into ½ inch slices.
  • To a small bowl, add olive oil, harissa, and salt and stir to combine.
  • Lay the squash slices on a foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Brush the harissa mixture on the squash slices. Flip each slice over, then brush mixture on the other side.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes until roasted and fork tender.

Notes

  • For this recipe, you'll use the harissa condiment, not the powdered spice blend.
  • This recipe serves 2-4 as a side dish. (2 if serving as the only side, 4 if serving with another side).
  • The skin of acorn squash can be cooked and eaten.
  • Ovens can cook differently. If squash is not tender, leave in for another 3-5 minutes.
