Baked Acorn Squash with Olive Oil and Crushed Garlic!
This is so simple.
But don’t don’t be fooled.
This makes for an elegant, filling, nutritious, tasty, side dish or meal!
You can add nuts, dried fruits, mushrooms, wild rice, cheese, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg; go sweet or savory for an outstanding, economical dish!
I like to mix cinnamon and garlic and even butter.
Simply cut into halves, pour on about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, crush 3-4 cloves of garlic and bake in a 400 degree oven for about an hour and a half or until tender.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
I wrap these completely in foil.
Serve this chopped in chunks or “smashed potato” style.
