Ingredients
- 2 small acorn sweet dumpling, or carnival squash
- coconut oil or avocado, olive
- coconut sugar or brown
- cayenne pepper
- ground cinnamon
- all spice
optional:
- cashew or almond butter drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F and grease a medium baking sheet with oil. Set aside.
- Cut tops and bottom off of squash and slice into rings. Cut out center of each ring to remove seeds. --If your squash is really hard to cut, allow to soften in preheating oven for about 5-10 minutes.
- Place rings on greased baking sheet and drizzle with oil, about 1-2 tablespoons. Lightly sprinkle on cayenne pepper (to taste), ground cinnamon, all spice and coconut sugar (about 1/2 tablespoon or so). Use hands to rub everything in and make sure squash is evenly coated.
- Bake for 20 minutes before checking and gently flipping over. Sprinkle with more seasoning and sugar if you wish, bake for another 10-20 minutes until soft.
- Allow squash to rest/cool on pan before serving. Drizzle with cashew or almond butter if your heart desires. Enjoy!
