1 tbsp olive oil

Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

For the glaze

3 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp unsalted butter
¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon

For serving

1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Brush the cut sides of the squash halves with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, until the flesh is just tender when pierced through the skin with a paring knife.
