Brown Butter and Sage Acorn Squash

Ingredients

• 1 medium acorn squash, halved, seeded and cut into 12 wedges

• 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

• 1/4 tsp nutmeg

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp ground pepper

• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter

• 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh sage

• 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup

• 1 tsp lemon juice

• 3 Tbsp pepitas, toasted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.

2. Toss squash with oil, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, whisk butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat until melted. Cook until the solids at the bottom begin to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in sage, maple syrup and lemon juice.

4. Flip the squash and spoon the butter mixture over the top. Continue roasting until golden and tender, 8 to 10 minutes more. Serve sprinkled with pepitas.
