Honey-Glazed Acorn Squash with Creamy Goat Cheese and Cranberry Drizzle

A cozy and elegant side dish featuring roasted acorn squash drizzled with honey, topped with creamy Brie, and finished with a cranberry sauce drizzle.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 2–4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium acorn squash (about 700 g / 1.5 lb), halved and seeded
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) Brie cheese, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey (40 ml)
  • 1/4 cup cranberry sauce (60 g), preferably whole-berry
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve and seed the squash.
  2. Brush cut sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.
  4. Flip squash halves over, drizzle with honey, and return to oven for 5 more minutes.
  5. Add Brie slices into each squash half and let melt from residual heat.
  6. Spoon cranberry sauce on top. Garnish with thyme. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Goat cheese can be substituted for Brie if preferred.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle with toasted pecans or walnuts before serving.
  • This pairs beautifully with roasted poultry or holiday mains.
