How do you cook acorn squash?

Answer 1

The very best way to have it is roasted -- either cut in half and seeded, or sliced onto a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt/pepper and any of: curry, paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic, onion powder, etc... and bake at about 350 until it browns.

You can also steam or or simmer it, then optionally pure into something like mashed potatoes. Add honey or maple syrup or sauteed onions. Good as baby food.

It's a very flexible vegetable - you can even grill chunks of it, adding a drop of BBQ or chili sauce at the end.

Answer 3

Cut squash in half, scrape out loose pith and seeds. Sprinkle with about two tablespoons of brown sugar and salt to taste. Put cut side down on baking tray lined with silicone paper. Roast at 375 for approx 25 to 30 minutes or until flesh is soft.

After roasting, scrape out flesh and put in bowl and mix in 3 tablespoons of butter and season with black pepper. hmmmm.

Answer 4

Take an ice pic and make several small holes in the squash before putting it into the microwave. This will allow the steam to escape and not have the squash explode. Put the squash into the microwave and turn on for 10 minutes. Check the squash periodically with a fork until it is tender. Cooking time will depend on the size of the squash. When it is tender remove the squash, cut it open, discard the seeds, scrape the meat from the skin into a bowl. Add seasoning as desired.

Cut it in to inch thick wedges, drizzle with plenty of olive oil, sprinkle over some spices (ground cinnamon, coriander, dried chilli all work well) and rub over the squash. Roast in the oven for around 40mins at 200degrees c. Enjoy!!
