This sweet and spicy roasted acorn squash is anything but basic! I\u2019ve made a lot of roasted squash recipes over the years, but this sweet and spicy version is hands-down my favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That buttery glaze with cinnamon, smoked paprika, chili powder, and just the right amount of brown sugar, hits all the right notes. Especially once paired with fresh orange zest, crispy sage, and pumpkin and\/or pomegranate seeds on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slice, roast, season, and toss it into the oven – this squash is secretly easy to make in less than an hour. It\u2019s the kind of side dish that gets more compliments than the main course!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
