ROASTED AND GLAZED ACORN SQUASH (FAT-FREE)



Roasted and Glazed Acorn Squash (Fat-Free) image

I found this recipe in the Binah cookbook. It says, "Acorn squash is another thing I like to keep in my pantry all the time, because it stays fresh for so long, so whenever you are stuck for a side dish, it's a great choice. I find acorn squash easier to deal with that a lot of other squashes and thanks to its flowerlike appearance, it's easy for it to look good, too. The ginger in this recipe gives an added zing to the overall taste." The recipe didn't list amounts, and I didn't measure, so I'm just estimating. I'm copying it as is, though I halved it by using one squash that weighed close to two pounds. I also used Walden Farms calorie-free pancake syrup instead of maple syrup, and I used regular salt because I didn't realize it called for kosher salt!

Tips:

  • Choose the right acorn squash: Look for acorn squash that are deep green in color, have a smooth, unblemished skin, and feel heavy for their size.
  • Cut the acorn squash safely: Use a sharp knife to cut the acorn squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and pulp with a spoon.
  • Roast the acorn squash at a high temperature: Roasting the acorn squash at a high temperature will help to caramelize the natural sugars in the squash and create a delicious, slightly crispy exterior.
  • Make the pomegranate glaze ahead of time: The pomegranate glaze can be made up to 3 days in advance. Simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Brush the acorn squash with the pomegranate glaze before serving: The pomegranate glaze will add a delicious sweet and tangy flavor to the acorn squash.

Conclusion:

Roasted acorn squash with pomegranate glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The acorn squash is roasted until tender and then brushed with a sweet and tangy pomegranate glaze. The dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
