Time 1h10m

Yield 4 each, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 acorn squash
8 slices bacon, use your favorite
8 tablespoons butter
4 teaspoons cinnamon
salt & pepper
after much time i have looked at this recipe and realize my Mistake
there is no sweeteners add about 2 tablespoons per 1/2 brown sugar
use honey or syrup, at your discretion

Steps:

I like to buy the squash a month or two ahead of time to let it ripen, so that the squash turns yellow all the way around, not just on the bottom. That is when they are ripe. But if you didn't, don't let it stop you from making this recipe !
Cut squash in 1/2 with the grooves.
Remove the pulp with the seeds, and cut thin slice off back half, so the half lays steady-flat with out tipping, but try do not cut through the center.
Place squash in greased oven proof pan.
Place butter around edges of squash, and some in center, of each half.
You will use 1 tablespoon for each half, more or less. This depends on how buttery you want it.
Sprinkle with cinnamon, salt and pepper to taste, and then place bacon around edges of squash.
Cover entire dish with foil, bake at 350 degrees, 45 minutes, or until done.
To test for doneness, be careful when removing foil,steam will come out, fork test squash for tenderness, when done it will be soft all the way through, to skin.

Tips:

Acorn squash can be cooked various ways, including roasting, baking, and steaming. Try different cooking methods to find your favorite way, and cook it until it's tender-crisp, not mushy.
To save time, buy pre-cut baby bitter greens. If using whole greens, wash and dry them thoroughly before chopping.
If you don't have any shallots, you can use a small onion instead.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce to the recipe for a little spice.
Top the salad with crumbled bacon, roasted nuts, or crumbled goat cheese for extra flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Acorn squash with baby bitter greens is a delicious and healthy dish that's perfect for a fall meal. The squash is sweet and savory, while the greens are slightly bitter and add a nice contrast in flavor. This dish is also very versatile and can be served as a side dish or a main course. With its roasted squash, tangy dressing, and tender greens, this salad is sure to impress your friends and family. It's also a great way to use up any leftover roasted squash.
