Notes
- Make-Ahead: These are meant to be eaten as soon as they are done. You can keep them in a pot covered in the oven at 225° for up to 1 hour before serving.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These do not freeze that well.
- How to Reheat: Add to a saucepan with ½ cup of water and cover with a lid or foil and bake in the oven at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until hot.
- Once the acorn squash is done roasting you can add a few more things like chopped cooked bacon and shredded mozzarella cheese to enhance the flavors.
- You can use dried sage in this recipe if that is all you have.
