    • Wash the squash, cut in half and scoop out the seeds. You don’t even have to peel it!
    • Slice into about 1 inch thick wedges, and place in a large bowl.
    • Coat with oil, and arrange on a baking dish.

    Seriously, this has got to be the easiest baked vegetable dish ever. Just in time for all the holiday gatherings. The perfect side to Turkey Veronique, or your traditional holiday bird or baked ham.

    Recipe Variations And Tips

    Other varieties can be used in place of acorn squash. Great alternatives would be butternut or pepper squash.

    Maple syrup or honey can be used in place of the balsamic glaze. Note these will give a sweet taste instead of savory.

    Goat cheese, parmesan, or any cheese can be substituted for feta cheese.

    Additional toppings can include dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds.

    Avocado oil is a great alternative to olive oil. Any cooking oil will work in this recipe.

    Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. It will easily last 3 days or so. Heat/warm-up in the oven. I like to place it in a foil-covered baking dish.

    Peeling is not necessary and makes a great presentation. However, if you prefer, you can peel away.
