    Roasted Cinnamon Acorn Squash with Coconut Butter & Raisins

    Roasted Cinnamon Acorn Squash with Coconut Butter & Raisins For Grown Ups

    This recipe takes acorn squash to the next level by combining it with blood-sugar-balancing cinnamon and anti-inflammatory coconut butter. Acorn squash alone is a rockstar vegetable providing an excellent dose of fiber, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and vitamin B1. Add coconut butter to the mix, and you’ve got yourself a superfood side dish! Unlike other butters, coconut butter is mainly composed of medium chain fatty acids, a unique type of fat used by the body as a quick energy source (read: metabolism booster). This rich and creamy butter alternative is also high in fiber, exhibits natural antibacterial properties, and contains lauric acid, an immunity boosting nutrient found in human breast milk. Danielle’s recipe is forgiving and easy to customize to your family’s taste buds!

    Total Time

    45 minutes

    Ingredients
    • 2 medium acorn squash
    • 1-2 Tbs. virgin coconut oil
    • 8 tsp. coconut butter, divided into 2 tsp. for each acorn squash half
    • 2 tsp. cinnamon, divided into ½ tsp. for each acorn squash half
    • 4 tsp. pure maple syrup, divided into 1 tsp for each acorn squash half (optional)
    • ½ cup organic golden or plain raisins, divided into 2 Tbs. for each acorn squash half
    • Water for pan
    Optional

    Note: If you can’t find coconut butter, you can make your own in 10 minutes with a food processor and unsweetened coconut flakes. Check out this simple recipe.

    Directions
    1. Preheat oven 400℉. Place coconut oil in heat proof dish and place in oven to melt during prep.
    2. Slice acorn squash around center, remove seeds.
    3. Brush melted coconut oil on cut side of each squash half.
    4. In sheet pan with side or large baking dish, place acorn squash halves cut side down. Add filtered water to just cover bottom of pan.
    5. Cook for 35 minutes until knife glides easily through squash. Let cool a bit.
    6. For each acorn squash half, scrape squash from sides of skin to mix in 2 tsp. coconut butter, ½ tsp. cinnamon and ½ to 1 tsp. maple syrup (less for infants). If squash does not scrape easily, increase cooking time.
    7. For toddlers/grown-ups, mix in 2 Tbs. raisins to each squash half.
