Acorn Squash Rings image

I love to fix acorn squash this way. It's pretty and impressive to serve, a tasty combination of fruit and vegetable and my favorite side dish when I make meat loaf. My husband, who was a "meat and potatoes" man when we were married, requests this dish often.

The rings were easy to make and looked beautiful, but they were a bit bland. I think they could have used more seasoning.
