You’re going to love these Roasted Acorn Squash Wedges. This acorn squash was a farmer’s market find. As the winter months approach, there are fewer options at the market, which can be exciting because it forces me to create new recipes with ingredients I wouldn’t usually cook with. I enjoyed these wedges with a pesto dipping sauce. So good.
Acorn squash is a winter squash packed with Vitamin A, B6, C, and potassium. They’re so flexible, and can be used in stews, soups, salads, and more. These wedges work perfectly as a side for whatever main dish you want! They go with almost everything. They’re nice and simple so you can whip them up easily.
Begin by cutting the acorn squash in half and removing the seeds from the middle. (Note: you can always keep the seeds and roast them as a light snack to munch on throughout the day!) Cut each half of the squash into wedges and place the wedges on a nonstick baking tray. Drizzle on that olive oil and sprinkle your spices. Bake for 20 minutes, flip, and then bake for another 20-25 minutes until these babies are nice and crisp.
Top the wedges with some parmesan cheese to make them even more delectable. As we said before, you can make these and enjoy with the dipping sauce, as a side, or as a nice crispy snack. You’ll love any way you decide to make these! Try them out and let us know in the comments below what you think! xo
