Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Spray aluminum foil lined baking sheet with cooking spray. Put the acorn squash, in a single layer on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Brush the maple syrup on both sides of the squash and evenly sprinkle brown sugar across the top.

Roast the squash until tender about 40 to 45 minutes. Lightly season with salt and pepper.

Mix Dijon mustard, honey, dry thyme, dry oregano, salt, black pepper, garlic powder in a medium bowl together then sit it to the side. In a separate bowl mix cornbread crumbs and fresh chopped herbs (basil and parsley) and olive oil to help the crust stick together then set bowl aside.

Generously season the entire lamb with salt, pepper and cayenne. Heat a large skillet on medium high until hot then add in vegetable oil. Add lamb racks (do this in batches if the skillet isn’t big enough) to the hot skillet fat side down and sear for about 5-6 minutes. Remove lamb racks from the heat and let rest (fat side up) for approximately 10 minutes.

Transfer lamb to a baking sheet fat side up. Evenly brush honey mustard paste on the fat sides and front cap of lamb then take the cornbread mix and press into the lamb so it sticks and is completely coated. Put the racks into 425 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and monitor lamb until the center reaches an internal temperature of 130 – 140 degrees for medium rare to medium range. Cut each rack into double chops and serve on a platter.
