For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the Sriracha butter. If you prefer a less spicy butter, start with 1 tablespoon of Sriracha and adjust to your liking. To easily cut the squash, microwave it for 2-3 minutes to soften the skin slightly. Leftover roasted squash can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)
02
StepCarefully halve the acorn squash lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out and discard the seeds and stringy fibers. Cut each half into 4 wedges. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the Sriracha sauce and honey until well combined. Keep warm over very low heat or remove from heat until ready to use. (5 minutes)
04
StepBrush the squash wedges generously with olive oil and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, placing them on their sides. (5 minutes)
05
StepRoast for 20 minutes, then flip the wedges over. Continue roasting until the squash is tender and the edges are beautifully caramelized, approximately 15-20 minutes more. (40 minutes)
06
StepArrange the roasted squash wedges on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the warm Sriracha butter. Serve immediately and enjoy the symphony of flavors!
