Honey Balsamic Roasted Acorn Squash
In the Fall and Winter months, varieties of squash are deliciously in season. In traditional Filipino and other Asian dishes, squash is used in many stews. It's sweetness goes very well with coconut milk, Chinese long beans, shrimp, okra and other root vegetables. Served over rice, it is simply divine.
This recipe is a much simpler way to prepare squash, yet just as delicious and even more sweet with a touch of honey.
Roasting the squash after tossing lightly in balsamic vinegar and honey elevates the squash's natural sweetness to new heights, while the balsamic gives it a nice depth of flavor and touch of acid.
Simply arranging the squash on a white plate and drizzling it with a little more honey and topping them with toasted pecans is a great way to serve them in your next holiday gathering. Simple. Beautiful. Delicious.
