Miso-Glazed Acorn Squash

| BY:
Miso-Glazed Acorn Squash

In this miso-glazed acorn squash recipe, a lightly sweet Japanese-inspired miso, soy, and ginger sauce is brushed on slices of acorn squash and caramelized to give it the perfect finishing touch.

The combination is lip-smacking good.

Once the sauce is brushed on the squash, it only needs 4–5 more minutes in the oven to brown. Make sure to pay close attention so that it doesn’t burn.

When ready to serve, top the miso-glazed acorn squash with chopped almonds. Not only does it brighten up the look of the dish, but it also adds a bit of crunch!

Most squashes are excellent for roasting (butternut, pumpkin, spaghetti), but our current obsession is acorn squash. They tend to be smaller in size, which means they can be cut easily.

You can easily slice it as we have for this quick-cooking miso-glaze acorn squash recipe, or halve it and stuff it with vegetables, quinoa, or seasoned meat.

The flesh is sweet and the skin is edible — no peeling required!
