Recipe - Roasted Squash Slices With Balsamic And Basil

1 Three fourths pound Acorn Squash
Salt And Freshly Ground
Pepper
1 One half tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
6 Fresh Basil Leaves (up To 8)
Olive Oil Spray

Heat oven to 500 degrees with rack in center. Cut squash in half
lengthwise; leave skin on. Remove seeds and any stringy bits from center.
Cut slices lengthwise 1 1/4" wide. Spray a roasting pan with cooking spray.
Arrange squash in pan, not touching. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 25
minutes, or until side touching pan begins to brown. Use a spatula to turn
slices, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until golden and
brown, 10 15 minutes more. Right before serving, stack basil leaves in a
pile, and cut into thin pieces. Arrange squash slices on a plate, drizzle
with vinegar, and scatter basil on top.

NOTES : One squash makes 10 12 slices; if you want more, just double the
recipe.
