Baked Acorn Squash Recipe

Serves 2

Baking or roasting squash is a great way to add a side dish to any meal and as long as you are baking one or two, why not bake three or four for later in the week or for making soup. This is the way my wife prepares Acorn Squash and I love it. If you are interested in learning more about winter squash and its' many varieties, check my Winter Squash article.
