I have to admit it . . . I am addicted to cooking in the fall! With all the beautiful types of squash and pumpkins, I just can't seem to stop myself from clanking around in the kitchen and conjuring up new recipes! As I was in our farm test kitchen yesterday, this beautiful acorn squash beckoned to be used in a savory, sweet way. Not only is this good as a meal on it's own, but also as a tasty side dish. This will serve 2-4 as a side dish and the recipe can easily be doubled.
Ingredients
1 acorn squash, peeled & cut into 1 inch pieces (How to Cut an Acorn Squash)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of ginger & nutmeg
extra virgin olive oil - 2 tablespoons approximate
On a baking sheet, combine all ingredients, toss to coat. Bake at 350 until squash is fork tender and brown sugar has caramelized. Want to spruce this up a bit? Add a bit of crisped bacon crumbles or blue cheese right before serving!
