I recently reintroduced these to our dinner table. and. they. were. a. hit. even the pickiest of eaters scooped their squash clean, (i’m sure it had nothing to do with the melted brown sugar and butter). the slight hint of orange zest and nutmeg contrast the sugar, and complement the delicious flavors of the acorn squash. bring this to your table, and it’s sure to be a hit.
