We needed another side, and I wanted something with little prep work. Fortunately for me, I'd found this recipe from Loving and Learning on the High Plains. I also had some acorn squash. I usually try not to get acorn squash since it has all those ridges! Sure they look pretty, but they take a bit of time to work around. Fortunately (or unfortunately), I didn't think about the ridges until too late. And as they say, "in for a penny, in for a pound," right? Once you get the acorn squash peeled, you'll want to spray it with a bit of oil. I thought the moisture from the squash would be enough to get the cheese to stick. Unfortunately, it's not quite enough. I just gave it a quick spray with the Misto. After you've given the squash a quick spray, just dip it in the cheese. I added a bit of garlic powder for extra flavor too.
Which foods do you tend to avoid just because they take too long to prepare?

Great combo. I am more in the category of cut it in half and not peel but good for you for working through it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us at Fiesta Friday!

What a great idea! I might just start doing that instead of peeling it. So much more efficient. :)
DeleteYum! I wasn't sure if I would like Parmesan and acorn squash together the first time I had it, but it is super delicious!
ReplyDeleteSame here! That sweet and savory really goes well together. :)
DeleteThank you for sharing at the Fabulous Friday Linky Party CJ! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAcorn squash is one I yet to try - we're a bit addicted to Kabocha at the minute having only just discovered it! I've not tried roasting any squash with anything other than salt and pepper, or cinnamon and nutmeg so this is certainly something for us to try! Thanks for sharing it at Fiesta Friday.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely see why! Kabocha is definitely my favorite. Cinnamon and nutmeg sounds like a fun way to switch it up. :)
