Maple-Honey Acorn Squash

Acorn Squash

Today, I’d like to tell you about one of my absolute favorite vegetables and one that will be featured at my Thanksgiving table: acorn squash.

My favorite way to have it is also one of my laziest recipes because it’s fast, easy and one of the very few dishes I make using the microwave. Oh, I could easily roast the squash and it would be divine but often we don’t decide on dinner until the last minute. With this method, my husband will often peel the squash while I cook and the squash will be ready when we are. Acorn squash is too hard to peel with a vegetable peeler, so you need to be able and comfortable peeling with a paring knife. Trust me, it doesn’t take long to become proficient!
