Plated + Served: Cheesy Roasted Acorn Squash Wedges

December11

Acorn squash is the Johnny Depp of the vegetable world.

It can play spicy (Pirates of the Caribbean), or sweet (Finding Neverland). With a little seasoning, it can be bold (Sweeney Todd) or amazingly interesting (Alice in Wonderland).

Acorn squash is available year round and is a great source of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium. You can bake it, steam it, sauté it, simmer it or cook it in the microwave. Very versatile… like a good actor.

This recipe is an easy way to showcase the talents of the acorn squash. Use whatever cheese you have on hand along with your favorite seasoning, to make it the star of the plate or just a supporting player.

Hmmm… I wonder if Johnny Depp is as much a fan of squash as Mama is of his movies?
