Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Have a nice acorn squash sitting at home ready to cook. Any good techniques for cooking you all could impart? I baked a spaghetti squash 2 weeks ago with fresh garlic on top. Do you think that would work well for the acorn? Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 What great timing; I baked one up 2 days ago (all gone now). I just split it in half, put it on a lightly oil-spritzed, tinfoil-lined cookie sheet, cut-sides down, and baked for 40 minutes? at 350 F. Mixed with a little cinnamon, cumin, and chipotle (my "Three C's"), some garlic and raw veggies (like broccoli and onions) for texture and bingo-bango. If it isn't moist enough, a drizzle of balsamic. Mmmm... autumn, -Erinhttp://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog - Russell Thursday, October 16, 2008 9:40 AM Acorn Squash Have a nice acorn squash sitting at home ready to cook.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I think I'd like to try that too. But at what point do you add the spices et al.? And do you just sprinkle them on top (er, bottom if they go on before they are baked)?

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I mix them in after the fact. That way I can spice left-overs differently, say as a dessert. -Erinhttp://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog - saramindle Thursday, October 16, 2008 11:18 AM Re: Acorn Squash I think I'd like to try that too.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Thanks Erin, That sounds wonderful...gonna do it. Do you use canned chipotles or... (actually thats the only one I know of)... or is there a chipotle dry spice?
