Notes
- Chose an acorn squash that's firm and has a blend of green and orange colors on the outer skin.
- The heavier the squash, the better.
- Be sure to have your squash well secured on the wooden board before slicing or cutting it as it may roll.
- Use Maple Butter and cinnamon if you'd like to season the squash before roasting for a classic taste, or try this easy Mediterranean inspired twist!
- To get the most caramelization on your squash, make sure you roast it cut side down always.
- If serving with Burrata cheese, always add the cheese right on the squash when it's still hot.
- Use fresh herbs when you can, as they add another level of flavor and brightness to your dish!
- Can You Eat Acorn Squash?
- Yes, just make sure you wash the skin well before cooking.
- How long can you store leftover Roasted Acorn Squash?
- If you have any leftovers from this dish, then simply keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Heat it up in your air fryer, oven or microwave. Alternatively you may find that you enjoy it cold right out of the fridge.
- Can you freeze Roasted Acorn Squash?
- Yes! Although the texture will feel different, freezing is definitely a great option! Simply store the squash in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. I would suggest to make soup out of the frozen squash, like this Mediterranean Soup or this Butternut Squash Soup Recipe.
