LEMONY ACORN SLICES
I discovered this recipe a long time ago and have used it often, This preparation is a nice change from simple baked acorn squash. With the skins on the slices and lemon sauce drizzled over them, this side dish looks as good as it tastes. -Nell Fletcher, Sedalia, Colorado

[email protected]These lemony acorn slices were a hit! My family loved the sweet and tangy flavor. The slices were also nice and crispy, thanks to the cornstarch coating.
