Ingredients
- 2 large acorn squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the acorn squashes in half vertically, remove the seeds with a spoon, and discard.
Place each squash half cut-side down on the cutting board and slice into 1-inch thick wedges.
Arrange the squash wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, melted butter, chopped fresh rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the oil and butter mixture over the acorn squash wedges, making sure each piece is evenly coated.
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the squash is tender and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a delicious low carb side dish or a light main course.
