US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F.
  • In a large stockpot place the whole green acorn squash and cover it with water. Bring to a full boil. Turn off the heat and let it simmer in the hot water for 5 minutes.
    Drain and cut into wedges and remove the internal seeds. Do not remove outer green skin, easier to handle.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil on a baking sheet, lay the green acorn squash wedges on it. Bake for 20 minutes turning once halfway thru baking. Remove from oven and sprinkle wedges with salt.
  • Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, and honey. Toss the wedges with the lemon vinaigrette, gently as to not break them.
  • Can be served with lentils for gluten-free or arugula and feta cheese for a filling salad.
