I picked our very first acorn squash from the garden last week, it weighed in at around 1 1/2 pounds. Because I’m fairly new to cooking squash, I decided to go all out and use a whopping 4 ingredients to prepare it.
Sometimes the best recipes, are the ones with the fewest ingredients, and this recipe for roasted acorn squash with Parmesan cheese, was no exception.
There’s no doubt about it. Simple Food rules.

Is this the parmesan that your HH felt the need to go to Cosco for? :p
Looks yummy! I usually do squash like mashed potatoes, I’ll have to try it this way sometime!
Mavis says
Yes, of course it is. 🙂

Thought so, lol!
And btw, you saved me this week….I bought a squash (.38/lb) that I absentmindedly thought was a spaghetti squash (I have littles, therefore no sleep and no time to use my brain). Anyhow, I saw your pictures of squash today and realized I bought a butternut squash! I would have been poop out of luck if I had cut that sucker open and planned on serving it in a noodley form!
Mavis says
Ha! Oh well, butternut squash are really good too. But, no noodles. 😉
Lissa says
A. So jealous of your butternut squash for $0.38/lb
B. That pic of the sliced acorn squash (before seasoning/cooking) is so durned pretty, I am near to swooning! I heart you so much, Mavis 😉

I know you have a lot of squash and pumpkin lying around! I just tried making a pumpkin gnocchi yesterday that was pretty amazing!! I used a Gluten Free receipe, but there’s a bunch of different versions out there! And barely took any time at all!!
