Serves 4

What you need:

  • 1 medium winter squash (kabocha, butternut, or acorn)
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown rice syrup or agave nectar

What you do:

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash, dry, and cut the squash in half. Remove the seeds. Cut into evenly sized chunks, leaving the skin on.
  2. Place the squash chunks into a mixing bowl and drizzle with the sweetener and cinnamon. Toss to coat all of the pieces evenly and place the squash in a baking dish.
  3. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the squash is tender.
