Uses: Acorn squashes are notoriously difficult to cut open, but what’s inside makes it all worth it. To avoid unnecessary chopping, try cutting it in half, scooping out the seeds, adding a filling of your choice, and baking. Acorn squash can also be roasted, grilled, or steamed! If you’re looking for inspiration, consider complementing its sweet flavor with sausage, pecans, or soft cheese.
