BAKED ACORN SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place squash in a shallow baking pan, cut side down.

• Bake for 20 minutes more.

ROASTED ACORN SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put squash pieces, skin sides down, on a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Bake squashes until tender when pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven, and brush each slice with butter. Keep warm until serving.

MAPLE-ROASTED ACORN SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the squash, cut sides up, on a sheet pan. Place 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup in the cavity of each squash. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and sprinkle the squash with 3 teaspoons kosher salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 40 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the squash, until tender when pierced with a small knife.
• Place the squash on a serving platter. If the halves are too large for one serving, cut each piece in half through the stem. Drizzle lightly with extra maple syrup, sprinkle with sea salt, and serve hot.

ROASTED ACORN SQUASH HALVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Halve the squash and scoop out and discard the seeds and strings.
• Put the squash halves on a baking sheet. Brush with the butter and sprinkle them with the salt and a few grinds of pepper. Roast until they are brown and tender, 50 to 55 minutes.
• Transfer the squash to a serving plate and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if using. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PERFECT ROASTED ACORN SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
• To prepare the squash, use a sharp chef's knife to slice through it from the tip to the stem. I find it easiest to pierce the squash in the center along a depression line, then cut through the tip, and finish by slicing through the top portion just next to the stem. Use a large spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy bits inside, and discard those pieces.
• Place the squash halves cut side up on the parchment-lined pan. Drizzle the olive oil over the squash, and sprinkle with the salt. Rub the oil into the cut sides of the squash, then turn them over so the cut sides are against the pan.
• Bake until the squash flesh is very easily pierced through by a fork, about 30 to 45 minutes depending on the size of your squash. Add any desired toppings, and serve warm.

ROASTED ACORN SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut acorn squash in half. Roast them cut side up on a baking sheet for 50 minutes or until the flesh is just tender. Let the squash cool for 20 minutes.
• In a large skillet over medium heat melt the butter; saute the onions. Stirring occasionally, cook the onions for 10 minutes, or until they begin to brown at the edges. Mix in the garlic, coriander, and nutmeg. Cook the mixture 2 minutes more; then remove the pan from the heat.
• Spoon the seeds and stringy middle out of the squash, and discard these. Spoon out the flesh, chop it and add it to the onion mixture. Discard the skins. Heat and stir the squash-onion mixture, then season it with salt and pepper. Serve the squash hot.
