One of my favorite things about fall is the fresh produce selection, particularly apples and squash. This squash tastes almost like candy. this recipe works well on all types of squash – even leftover pumpkin!

Honey-Glazed Acorn Squash

Ingredients:

• 3 medium acorn squash
• 2/3 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
• pinch cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Halve and seed squash and place cut sides up on sheet pan. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, and seasonings. Brush mixture over squash.

Cover squash and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until squash is fork-tender, basting with honey mixture every 20-30 minutes. Uncover dish, baste again, and place under broiler until sugars have caramelized.
