As sweet as candy! This is one of my long-time favorite dishes. Seasonal, simple, and a wow for your guests. A type of winter squash known for its distinctive ribbed, dark green exterior (often with an orange patch) and sweet, nutty, yellow-orange flesh. It is commonly baked, roasted, or stuffed and is a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamins A and C.
I've prepared acorn squash several ways, roasted in an oven and grilled on an outdoor grill. Yes, squash is just perfect for the grill. Wow, your family and friends will love my candy-like acorn squash.
A perfect dish to go with my Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf! or for a holiday celebration, drizzled with honey and filled with cranberries.
