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.
