INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 lb. acorn squash, halved lengthwise, seeds removed, sliced crosswise ½" thick

  • ½ head of garlic

  • 2 sprigs sage

  • 2 sprigs thyme

  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¾ tsp. kosher salt

  • 1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar

PREPARATION:

  1. Place a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350°. Toss squash, garlic, sage, thyme, oil, and salt in a shallow 2-qt. baking dish to combine.

  2. Turn garlic cut side down, then roast vegetables, tossing 2 or 3 times, until golden brown, very tender, and edges and cut sides are crisp, 60–70 minutes.

  3. Let cool slightly, then add vinegar and toss to coat.
