Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb 454 g acorn squash, halved, seeded and cut in 1/4" slices
- 250 g Canadian Halloumi also known as Halloom cheese (made with 100% Canadian milk), cut in 1/4" slices

- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp kosher salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. In a large bowl, toss squash slices with 2 tbsp of the olive oil, maple syrup, salt and allspice; spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes, until squash is tender and starting to caramelize.
- Meanwhile, arrange Halloumi slices in a single layer on a second baking sheet; brush with 1/2 tbsp olive oil.
