Ingredients
Vegetable oil, for baking sheets
3 acorn squashes (about 1 1/2 pounds each), halved, seeded, and sliced into 1-inch-thick crescents
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil, and brush with oil.
Lay squash pieces on baking sheets. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle squashes evenly with half the sugar. Roast until sugar has melted, about 5 minutes.
Remove baking sheets from oven. Using tongs, turn over pieces. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle evenly with remaining sugar. Roast until tender, about 20 minutes.
