¼tspCayenne
2tbspOrganic honeyslightly warmed
As neededavocado or other oil spray
¾tspCinnamon
¼cupFat-free feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F. As preparation, peel the squash with a heavy-duty peeler. Cut it in half and remove the seeds and stringy pulp, then dice it into 1-inch cubes.
Transfer the squash pieces to a large bowl. Spray them with avocado oil spray so they are coated, then sprinkle in the seasonings. Toss to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Add the warmed honey slowly and fold to coat the squash pieces with it evenly.
Transfer the squash to a greased sheet pan and spread it out. Bake for 15 minutes, then stir. Add more avocado spray if needed. Return to the oven and roast for 10-15 minutes longer or until the squash is fork-tender and the honey is starting to caramelize.
Serve warm with feta cheese sprinkled on top.
