Ingredients

  4 medium uncooked acorn squash, halved crosswise and seeded   
2 spray(s) cooking spray   
1/8 tsp table salt, or more to taste   
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or more to taste   
2 tsp ground cumin   
1/3 cup(s) roasted pumpkin seed kernels, toasted*   

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.

  • Place acorn squash halves, cut-side up, in a large baking dish or on a baking sheet; coat with cooking spray. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with cumin.

  • Roast squash until tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer squash to serving plates and sprinkle each half with about 2 teaspoons pumpkin seeds.

Notes

  • *To toast the seeds, heat a heavy, large skillet over medium heat. Add seeds and shake pan constantly or stir seeds to prevent burning. Seeds are toasted when they look slightly golden and are aromatic. If you can’t find pumpkin seeds, substitute pine nuts.

Nice flavor and super simple preparation. I used toasted pine nuts in lieu of pumpkin seeds and the substition worked well, but will make again using pumpkin seeds to see which we prefer. A larger squash may need closer to 40 min cooking time.
