Roasted Acorn Squash with a Pomegranate Glaze

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1 medium acorn squash

• Kosher salt and ground black pepper

• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

• 1/2 cup pomegranate arils (seeds from one half a pomegranate)

• 2 Tablespoons pomegranate balsamic vinegar or pomegranate molasses

 

Method:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the acorn squash first in half, and then with a spoon scoop out the seeds. Cut each half into one-inch pieces so they look like little moons. With a pastry brush, brush each piece of squash on both sides and place them on a cookie tray lined with parchment. Season with Kosher salt. Transfer to oven and roast 30 minutes or until golden brown and tender, turning once halfway through. Transfer squash slices to serving platter and sprinkle with parsley and pomegranate arils then drizzle with the remaining oil and the pomegranate balsamic vinegar.

 

Yield: 4 servings

Albariño is Shoshana’s go-to white wine for all seasons because of its versatility pairs to perfection with a variety of dishes and flavors from around the globe.
