This acorn squash recipe is one of my favorite sides because it is very easy to make and tastes wonderful. Acorn squash is packed with more 145% of the recommended daily value of vitamin A. I like to serve it with a slice of whole wheat bread and a salad. This combination provides a lot of color that is especially appealing.Nutritional Information

Ingredients

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
