maple roasted acorn squash #SundaySupper
Along with the cool Fall air and changing leaves comes an abundance of squash to the markets. It’s hard to resist these colorful gourds, but figuring out what to do with them can be intimidating. This Maple Roasted Acorn Squash is simple and sweet and perfect for any Autumn meal.
Fall is here! I couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome the crisp air, thick sweaters and pumpkins as far as the eye can see. Pumpkins make me happier than I care to admit.
Well, squash in general makes me feel that way.
This week, the Sunday Supper family is celebrating all things Fall – with a day of Fabulous Fall Flavors. I knew I wanted to share one of my favorite ingredients on today’s table: squash.
Everytime Fall rolls around, my husband grins and bears all of the nonstop squash cooking that I dive into. From butternut squash soup to squash apple bake to squash tartines – I can’t get enough.
And I’m not even sorry when the compulsion hits me – it’s just too good!
This Maple Roasted Acorn Squash encompasses everything that I love about squash – it’s ease of preparation and it’s inherent sweetness. Maple syrup, a sprinkling of my favorite raw sugar and a dusting of cinnamon is all this golden acorn squash needs to be the center of attention at your dinner table.
Side dish or not, this squash will impress!
Next time you’re faced with the question of what to do with those mysterious squash overflowing at the grocery store – try roasting it!
You won’t regret it.
Happy Sunday!
