SPICED ACORN SQUASH WITH CORIANDER AND LIME

Category: Squash

2 small or one large acorn squash, stem ends removed, halved and seeded
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp salt
1/2 Freshly ground black pepper

1 red serrano chile pepper, stemmed, seeded, ribs removed, finely chopped
Juice of one lime, about 2 tbsp
2-3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander/cilantro leaves

Preheat oven to 425. Cut squash in 3/4 inch wedges. Toss squash with oil, sugar, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper in a large bowl so squash is evenly coated with spices. Arrange squash in one layer on baking tray, flesh-side down. Roast in oven until tender and golden, about 45 minutes. Remove and cool slightly.

Transfer to large bowl and toss with chile pepper, lime juice and cilantro leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature. Serves 4
