Ingredients

4 servings

2 medium acorn squash (about 1 ½ lb each)
1 tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp salt

For the glaze

3 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Ingredient note
Though high-fat foods can worsen reflux, this recipe has only a small amount of butter (~3/4 teaspoon per serving), making it likely fine for many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
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.
