Roasting squash brings out its natural sweetness, then topping it with a slightly sweet, slightly spicy butter sauce takes it to the next level!
Ingredients
- 1 acorn squash , 2 pound
- 0.25 cups butter
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 2 teaspoons honey or to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Pizza Focaccia
Don't tell your friends from Chicago, but this is an easy take on deep-dish-style pizza. While it's far from authentic, it sure is delicious! By layering the cheese on first, you get lots of crispy, golden edges—which my family tends to fight over. Since this pizza is quite doughy, it's best to cut it into thin strips to serve. As for the sauce, less is more. I like to add small dollops all over the surface to ensure even distribution and maximum crispiness. If you're craving some spice, my favorite topping to hit this with as soon as it comes out of the oven is a hefty drizzle of hot honey.
