We roast acorn squash in a hot oven for deeply caramelized flavor, velvety texture and skin tender enough to eat, no need for peeling. While the squash is cooking, we whirl a simple vinaigrette in the blender to drizzle on at the end. It includes olive oil, sherry vinegar and orange zest and juice; the acids keep the flavors bright and balance the richness of the oil. Toasted pumpkin seeds blended into the dressing add a nutty flavor while also lending creaminess. This is the perfect side dish for fall and winter meals.

Roasted acorn squash
This was a hit at dinner tonight. I will be making this again. The crunchy pumpkin seeds went well with the smooth taste of the roasted acorn squash.

Would Like to Make, But...
This recipe is indeed missing the directions regarding cooking the acorn squash. Please do revise and update. Could be delicious.
