Roasted Acorn Squash with Indian Spices
One of my favorite things about fall is all the squash at the farmer’s market and grocery stores. This year I was so excited for acorn squash to be available at the market so I could test this recipe, that I started working on last year, one more time. The verdict: it’s still delicious! The Indian spices pair perfectly with the flavor of the acorn squash. It also smells so good while cooking! I have a hard time waiting for the timer to go off!
