How To Make Roasted Acorn Squash Recipe

I picked up some fresh Acorn Squash at the Farmers Market and I made this easy Roasted Acorn Squash recipe. It doesn't take much to learn how to make roasted acorn squash slices.

Have you ever roasted vegetables before? You are missing out if you haven't.

Roasting acorn squash allows the natural sugars in vegetables to intensify. Add some garlic and herbs and you can turn boring acorn squash into something amazing.

How To Roast Vegetables

It is very easy to make roasted vegetables. All you need is a favorite vegetable brushed or drizzled with olive oil, herbs and a few spices.

You can roast any type of vegetable.

Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts, carrots, corn, beets, and squash are just a few types of vegetables I have roasted in the past.

Savory Roasted Squash Recipe

I was in the mood for a salty and savory roasted acorn squash after I got home from the farmers market.

I knew the fresh acorn squash I bought would taste amazing brushed with olive oil,  garlic, and herbs then roasted.

Sometimes I am in a mood for a sweet and savory roasted vegetable with balsamic vinegar.

Balsamic roasted vegetables or fruit is really an amazing combination of sweet and tart flavors you should also try.

No matter which type of roasted vegetable you like you can't go wrong when you take a little time to make a tray of roasted Acorn squash.

The Roasted Acorn Squash recipe is a simple and savory roasted squash recipe that is so easy to make you really don't have a good excuse not to try it.

You can also roast a sweet and savory acorn squash by using brown sugar. I love butternut squash roasted with brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter.

 

How To Make Roasted Acorn Squash

Ingredients

  • 1 large Acorn squash, outside scrubbed clean
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, stripped from stems or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan or Gouda cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. degrees.
  2. Wash the outside of the acorn squash under cold running water.
  3. With a sharp knife carefully cut the acorn squash in half vertically.
  4. Using a metal tablespoon scrape the fibers and seeds from the cavity of the acorn squash.
  5. Use the sharp knife to slice each half of the acorn squash into 1 inch thick slices.
  6. Arrange the acorn squash slices on a cookie sheet in a single layer.
  7. In a small mixing bowl mix the olive oil, chopped garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  8. Using a basting brush, brush the olive oil and spices over both sides of the sliced acorn squash.
  9. Sprinkle the top of each acorn squash slice with the shredded cheese.
  10. Place the cookie sheet in the oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes or until the squash is fork tender and the cheese has melted.
