Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 honeynut squashes
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt (plus more to taste)
  • ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon

  2. Cut each honeynut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, sea salt, cinnamon, and black pepper.
  4. Place the squash halves on the baking sheet. Drizzle with half of the oil mixture, add thyme, and sprinkle more salt and pepper. Rub the seasonings into the squash.

  6. On a serving platter, spread whipped ricotta, place the roasted squash halves, drizzle with remaining oil mixture, and top with walnuts, thyme, and parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let the honeynut squash sit at room temperature before cutting for easier slicing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
