Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 large acorn squash or 2 small, about 2 pounds
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

• Heat the oven to 375 F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Slice the acorn squash into 3/4-inch rounds. Cut the center soft pulp out of the center of each round to make the rings.
• Arrange the rings on the baking sheet.
• Combine the maple syrup, melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until the sugar is melted. Brush some of the mixture over the squash rings, saving the rest for basting.
