Pan-Roasted Acorn Squash

Acorn squash is similar to butternut but less sweet. It’s a nice squash to have and it has such cute and ruffled edges when you sliced it makes for a fun dish visually.

Make sure you keep the heat lower since, like most in the gourd family, they take a little longer to soften. You can also do this in the oven as well if you don’t feel like babying it on the stove.

Make sure you use raw organic honey and organic acorn squash to prevent yourself from accidentally ingesting any pesticides.
