Roasted Acorn Squash

Sophia and I are big fans of roasting squash. This is the first year we have made Butternut Squash, Spaghetti Squash and Acorn Squash and we are enjoying them while in season. Acorn Squash is a little less sweeter than Butternut Squash and I saw recipes that sprinkled Brown Sugar or Maple Syrup, but it does not need it at all.

Ingredients

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

If you wish, cut off each end of Acorn Squash and cut in half.

Using a spoon gently remove the seeds.

With a knife, score each half with a knife about 5-6 times straight across.

My serving of Roasted Acorn Squash, yummy!
