Honey Spiced Squash Bowls

By Ally @allykitchen

Ingredients

  • Preheat oven to 400
  • 1 butternut squash, sliced in half lengthwise and seeds/cuts scraped out and reserved
  • 1 acorn squash, sliced in half lengthwise and seeds/cuts scraped out and reserved
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. ground allspice
  • ¼ tsp. fine sea salt
  • 4 Tbl. Butter, unsalted
  • 6 Tbl. Organic honey, divided
  • 4 large wedges of fresh orange
  • honey spiced squash bowls

Instructions

  1. Take the cleaned halved squashes and place on a large cookie sheet. Scatter the seeds on the cookie sheet. Give them all a coating of cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, allspice and salt and blend together. Dust or sprinkle on all the squash. Place one tablespoon of butter in the cavity of each squash.
  3. Drizzle the each squash with one tablespoon of honey. Loosely cover with aluminum foil.
  4. Roast in a preheated 400-degree oven for 60 minutes. Remove the foil. Turn the oven to broil and let the squash slightly brown for about 60 seconds. Remove the squash (leave on cookie sheet) to a cooling rack. Place the foil back on top. Let it rest about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Squeeze a wedge of fresh orange juice on each squash. Take a large spoon and start scooping/blending the tender squash (leaving in the natural 'bowl'). Drizzle the scooped 'bowls' with the remaining honey and squeeze out any remaining juice on to each.

Notes

Optional: Scatter some of the toasted/roasted seeds on the squash.
