A delightful autumn side dish combining sweet acorn squash with sharp cheddar and a luscious apple cider reduction.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 acorn squashes, halved, seeded, and sliced (about 1.2 kg)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (45 ml)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (45 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (3 g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (1 g)
  • 120 g sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup)
  • 250 ml apple cider (1 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (5 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss acorn squash slices with olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Arrange the squash pieces on the baking sheet and roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized.
  4. While the squash is roasting, simmer apple cider over medium heat in a small saucepan until it reduces by half (about 10 minutes).
  5. Stir in apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard, whisking until the mixture thickens slightly.
  6. Transfer the roasted squash to a platter, sprinkle with shredded cheddar, and drizzle with apple cider reduction.
  7. Serve warm as a tasty side dish.
