Maple-Garlic Acorn Squash
When you don’t know what to make for dinner, take a trip to the farmers market near you, browse around, check out what’s in season and buy whatever looks the most delicious to you!
The chill in the air has me craving hearty and autumn-y dishes. So, I took a trip to the Union Square Farmer’s Market and picked out a beautiful acorn squash.
Went home and made: Maple Garlic Acorn Squash.
Time: 15 minutes.
Tastes: Sweet and delicious.
1. Cut the squash into half. Spoon out the seeds, then cut it into thick slivers according to the squash’s natural ridges.
2. In a bowl, whisk together a little olive oil, minced garlic, maple syrup and cinnamon (optional).
3. With a spatula, or your hands, spread the mixture on each side of each sliver.
4. Place onto baking sheet and bake or broil. I broiled for about 7 minutes on each side until brown and soft enough to cut.
5. Let cool and enjoy!
Text from my boyfriend day after (packed it for him to eat during lunch): “What was that delicious vegetable?!?!?!?!” Guess he liked it. Score!
Be sweet. Be hungry. Be Well,
xoxo
be well,
