Ingredients:
2 small acorn squash or 2 small butternut squash
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 orange
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
Directions:
1. The squash should each be cut into 4 wedges and remove the seeds.
2. Heat oven to 325ºF. Brush each squash wedge with about 1 teaspoon olive oil, then sprinkle each with about 1/4 teaspoon salt and about 1/8 tsp of cayenne if using.
3. Place on a baking sheet skin-side down. Roast 45 minutes in the oven. The squash is done when it is fork-tender.
4. Meanwhile, grate the zest and squeeze the juice from the orange. Remove the squash from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the mint, orange juice, and zest.
