Roasted Acorn Squash


I was watching a Barefoot Contessa episode on the food channel where Ina Garten was making maple-roasted acorn squash, so I decided to make some. I used some Manuka honey I had instead of maple syrup and also substituted some Himalayan pink salt.

It tasted like candied yams, and was very good with baked chicken.

Looks very tasty! Hugs, Valerie

Talking about Himalayan pink salt, I bought two packs of it yesterday. I wonder if pink salt would be much better than the usual white-salt though, because it's much more expensive.

I have not eaten acorn in years. Looks like a simple way to prepare it.

Yum, I love all squashes. The sweetness must have been really good. I have a spaghetti squash that I'm doing something with tonight.

it adds a different touch but nutritionally it is basically just salt. Nice to use something differenty occasionally.

I like acorn squash and this looks good. I'm sure the honey was a good substitute. Have a great week!

That looks wonderful. I've heard about Manuka honey. I've heard how expensive they are too.
