Ingredients
- 1 acorn squash (seeded and sliced)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt (divided)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line with foil. Spray with cooking spray and scatter the squash slices in a single layer on the pan.
- Drizzle the squash slices with olive oil and toss to coat on both sides. Sprinkle with cinnamon, half of the salt (1/2 teaspoon) and pepper then toss again. Bake until golden brown and tender, about 25-30 minutes.
- While the squash is roasting, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, garlic and remaining salt in a small bowl. Add warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you’ve reached desired consistency. Drizzle over roasted squash to serve.
