This would work with any other winter squash—acorn and delicata don't even have to be peeled.

  • I used and honey butternut squash. It is an excellent side, that it is delicious, warm and filling. For easier clean up, spray the baking sheets with oil spray.

  • Great with acorn squash. Managing to Tetris it onto a single pan. Will definitely foil-line the pan next time.

  • I couldn’t find Gochujang so I used Siracha instead. Worked well, will definitely make this again!!

  • My son said "Don't loose this recipe". It was so good. I will use this sauce to marinate steak tips next time.
