This roasted acorn squash with honey and sage is a beautiful representation of simple, seasonal cooking. The natural sweetness of the squash is enhanced by a light glaze of honey and the earthy, aromatic notes of fresh sage and nutmeg. As the squash roasts, the skin softens and the flesh becomes buttery and golden, creating a sophisticated side dish that pairs brilliantly with roasted meats or hearty grain salads.
As a low-sugar vegetable dish, it offers a healthier way to satisfy a sweet palate while providing plenty of fibre and essential nutrients. It is an ideal accompaniment for a Sunday roast or a festive midweek supper, requiring very little preparation time. Serve these warm wedges on a platter to showcase their vibrant colour and rustic charm at the dinner table.

Ingredients for Roasted Acorn Squash and Honey
2 acorn squash (about 450g each)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoons grated fresh nutmeg
2 tablespoons honey
8 sage leaves, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
How to make Roasted Acorn Squash and Honey
Preheat the oven to 177°C. Split the squash in half and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Cut the squash halves into quarters and place in a mixing bowl, leaving the skin on the squash sections. Toss the squash with the olive oil, nutmeg, honey, and sage leaves. Lay the squash pieces, cut sides down, on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the squash flesh begins to turn golden brown and is tender. Season the squash with salt and pepper.
Arrange the squash on a serving platter.
