Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the acorn squash in half and remove the seeds. Cut each into 1/2 inch slices.  In a large bowl, toss the acorn squash with the butter flavored olive oil, kosher salt, cinnamon and pepper. Place cut side down on the parchments paper and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Place the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan and add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil and lower heat until it becomes thicker and syrupy. That will take about 3-5 minutes. Watch it carefully. Remove from the heat.
  • When the acorn is finished cooking (it will easily be pierced with the tip of a knife), place on a platter and sprinkle with the feta and pepitas.  Drizzle with the spiced balsamic glaze.  Finish by sprinkling over pomegranate seeds and a large pinch of flaky salt.
