Ingredients
  

For the Squash
  • 2-3 pounds Winter Squash (medium, acorn, buttercup, or delicata) Peeling is optional based on texture preference.
For the Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Any cooking oil can be used, but olive oil enhances flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup (or honey) Use honey, agave nectar, or brown sugar dissolved in water as a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Sea salt or kosher salt works best for optimal results.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Opt for freshly ground pepper for a stronger taste.
For the Topping
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (finely grated) You can substitute with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped) Thyme or rosemary could work for different flavor profiles.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and position the baking rack in the center.
  2. Slice your medium winter squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and cut each half into uniform 1-inch wedges.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced squash wedges with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper, tossing until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned squash wedges on a large baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they have space to breathe.
  5. Place your baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the squash for 20 minutes.
  6. After 20 minutes, carefully flip each wedge using tongs or a spatula and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes.
  7. Check the squash for doneness; they should turn a deep golden brown and be fork-tender.
  8. Transfer the Roasted Winter Squash Wedges to a serving dish, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley, and enjoy!
