Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 °F. Cut each squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Trim and discard ends, then cut each half crosswise into slices that are about 1 inch thick.

  2. Place slices in a large bowl; add oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Toss to coat. Arrange slices flat on 2 large baking sheets. Roast until lightly browned and tender, turning once, 35 to 40 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Why this Chili-Roasted Acorn Squash Recipe | Myrecipes works for PCOS

Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
