Perfect Parmesan Squash
Baking or roasting is one of our favorite ways to cook acorn squash.
Baked acorn squash is a sweet and delicious winter squash that is easy to prepare. Slicing the squash makes it cook quickly making it great for weeknight meals. This recipe needs just a few ingredients and it can be prepared up to 48 hours before baking. Whole acorn squashes are easy to find and a delicious way to get all those healthy vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber.
Ingredients and Variations
ACORN SQUASH: Start with firm and heavy acorn squashes that smell slightly sweet at the base. Save the seeds because they can be roasted just like pumpkin seeds! SEASONINGS: Parmesan cheese is the tangy complement to the sweet and nutty flavor of the acorn squash. For a more festive dish, sprinkle on a little brown sugar or even some Pumpkin Pie Spice or Apple Pie Spice. Drizzle acorn squash with honey or maple syrup before roasting and let the sugars caramelize onto the flesh and skin.

Storing Leftovers
Keep leftover roasted acorn squash in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze leftovers in zippered bags with the date labeled on the outside for up to 4 weeks. Reheat leftovers in the oven or in an air fryer. Leftover acorn squash can also be cut into smaller pieces and added to a soup, stew, smoothie, casserole, or even topped onto a salad! Chilled leftover squash is great added to kale salad too!
