In reply to Jane Clement. Hi Jane, do you microwave the acorn squash on low, mdm or high, and for how long? Patti

Followed recipe to the letter, (roasted cut side down) turned out perfect. Once roasted I drizzled with hot honey. Served with lemon pepper marinated skewers and a cilantro & lime crema. Delicious!
Thanks you, keep up the great work.

In reply to WL. It says in the instructions (#3) cut side up to apply the EVOO and salt...then cut side down to roast it.

We made stuffed squash for dinner last night, and I used your directions to cook the squash. They came out PERFECTLY. So easy and so delicious. Thank you!

Very good recipe results with a little maple syrup on a cold snowy evening

In reply to Patti. I’ve found that microwaving a whole acorn squash (pierce once) until it begins to soften makes it SO much easier to cut. Then clean out seeds, and roast as desired. Jane C.

4th time making this recipe! Our favorite toppings are a little butter and toasted pepitas. Delicious.

In reply to Elizabeth. Great idea! Especially for cutting butternut squash which I prefer already cut up. I will look for a serrated knife.
