Maple Pecan Goat Cheese Roasted Acorn Squash Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Spray the cut sides of the acorn squash halves with olive oil spray and season with salt and black pepper.
- Place the squash halves cut side down on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 40-45 minutes, until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized.
- While the squash is roasting, combine the crumbled reduced-fat goat cheese, chopped pecans, and sugar-free maple syrup in a small bowl. If desired, add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth.
- Remove the squash from the oven and flip them over. Carefully spoon the goat cheese mixture into the cavity of each squash half.
- Return the filled squash halves to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the goat cheese is slightly melted and golden.
- Serve warm and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors!
