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
- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis treats warming spices like cinnamon as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
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.

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.
