Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cut and Clean: Slice each acorn squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Then, cut each half into 1-inch thick wedges.
- Season: Place the wedges on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown around the edges.
- Chop Ingredients: Finely chop the coriander leaves and the red hot chili pepper (remove seeds if you prefer less heat). Mince the garlic clove.
- Mix Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the chopped coriander, chili pepper, minced garlic, lime juice, remaining olive oil, and the rest of the salt and black pepper until well combined.
- Once the acorn squash is roasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Arrange the roasted squash wedges on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the chile vinaigrette generously over the top.
- Garnish with some extra coriander leaves if desired.
- Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious side dish or light main course.
Tips:
- Choose firm and unblemished acorn squash for the best results.
- When cutting the squash, be cautious as the outer skin can be tough.
- For a smoother vinaigrette, you can use a blender to mix the ingredients.
- If you prefer a milder heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the chili pepper.
- Roast the squash cut-side down to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Garnish with extra coriander leaves for a fresh touch and added aroma.
