Roasted Acorn Squash with Orange-Ginger Dressing
This is a recipe from my friend, B. This acorn squash is very light and serves as a great change from the traditional heaps of brown sugar and marshmallow mix. This is sweet, yet not overwhelming.
Roasted Acorn Squash with Orange-Ginger Dressing
Serves: 6
Ingredients
3 medium acorn squash, cut in half and seeded
3 sprays cooking spray
3/4 cup orange juice
2 tbsp ginger root, fresh, minced
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp packed brown sugar
1 tbsp orange zest
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a roasting pan or baking dish with cooking spray. Place acorn squash, cut side down, on pan and spray outside of squash with cooking spray. Roast until done, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
In a medium sauce pan, combine orange juice, ginger, butter, sugar, and zest. Heat just until butter and sugar melt. Remove from stovetop and stir.
Serve each squash with dressing poured inside. Yields 1 squash half and about 3 tablespoons of dressing per serving.
