Preparing the Squash
1 2 lb acorn or other winter squash
olive oil
smoked salt
ground pepper
Preparing the Sauce
1/4 cup mild honey (wildflower, clover, or tupelo)
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons tamari
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cinnamon stick
grated parmesan

1
Preheat the oven to 400u00b0.
2
Trim off the ends of each squash. Halve, deseed, and then cut each halve into 1 inch thick wedges.
3
Generously oil a sheet pan, then dredge each wedge in the oil and lay each out so that no slice is touch another. Salt and pepper each slice.
4
Roast for 20-30 minutes, until soft.
5
Once the squash wedges are soft, use a spatula to flip them over - it's ok if they break apart a bit and if they are a bit charred - this adds great texture and flavor.
6
While the squash is roasting, combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced by 2/3 and syrupy (it should slightly coat the back of a spoon).
7
On a platter plate the squash and drizzle the sauce over top. Add grated parmesan to taste. Serve with additional cheese and sauce on the side.
