Perfect Roasted Acorn Squash

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wash the acorn squashes thoroughly. Cut each squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.

Slice the squash halves into 1-inch thick crescents.

Arrange the squash slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet.

Drizzle the olive oil over the squash and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper.

Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the squash is tender and golden brown on the edges.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or toasted nuts before serving.
