Honey Chipotle Roast Acorn Squash

Honey Chipotle Roast Acorn Squash

Ingredients:

• 2 small acorn squash
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo
• 2 Tbsp. honey
• 2 limes, juiced
• 1 generous pinch salt
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1/8 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions:

1. Heat your oven to 350ºF.
2. Cut the acorn squash in half, stem to root. Scoop out the seeds and pulp. Cut the squash into 1/2-inch slices and arrange it in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3. Mince the chipotle pepper very finely and place it in a small bowl. Add the honey, lime juice, and salt; mix in the olive oil. Brush half of the honey-chipotle glaze onto the squash.
4. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the underside is golden brown. Drizzle the roast squash with the remaining glaze and sprinkle with cilantro.

Tip: Any extra chipotles in adobo can be frozen for use another time.
