Ingredients
2 whole acorn squash (about 2 pounds each)
8 shallots, peeled, root ends intact (separate into lobes, if large)
6 small sprigs fresh rosemary
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
Preparation
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Halve each squash lengthwise. Scoop out and discard seeds. Carefully cut each half into four wedges.
On a rimmed baking sheet, combine squash with shallots, fresh rosemary, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper; toss well to coat, and spread in a single layer.
Roast, turning squash halfway through, until browned and tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
