Time 5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 medium acorn squash, halved and seeded
4 tablespoons fresh orange juice
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Arrange squash halves cut side up in a shallow baking dish. Place one tablespoon of orange juice into each cavity. Sprinkle each one with ginger and nutmeg. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 60 to 90 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the squash is tender. Baking time will depend on the size of the squash. Remove from the oven, discard aluminum foil, and let the squash rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the juices settle.

Yum! I've been looking for a new way to prepare acorn squash and this one is a winner. The ginger and brown sugar give it a lovely caramelized flavor.

Wow! What a flavor explosion! The gingersnap and cinnamon added just the right amount of sweetness and spice to the roasted acorn squash. It was super easy to make and turned out beautifully golden and tender. Definitely a new favorite fall recipe!
