SWEET ROASTED ACORN SQUASH

November 26, 2013

Over the past year or so, I have discovered my love for roasting up squashes for snacks. They are hearty and flavorful. And, even healthy. Which is a relief when some of my other vegetables get played out. (I eat my weight in carrot sticks. I love them, but that can get old.) Sawing a squash in half and roasting it in strangely gratifying. I love how it kind of is its own bowl, and I scoop out the inside for a simple and fast snack.

Squashes are super cool and I won’t back down! (No one was trying to make me.)
