SWEET AND SAVORY DELICIOUS SQUASH
We love acorn squash because it is an extremely nutrient dense food, meaning that it is very rich in nutrients. We love the sweet and savory taste of squash, making it a great addition to stews, salads, and soups! One cup of acorn squash provides one-third of your daily fiber needs. It doesn’t get any better than this! This recipe is a great side or snack and is very fun and easy to make. Nutrition tip: choose a low fat cooking method like roasting or steaming to make the best of all the nutrients it provides. Also, be sure to use a quality chef knife to cut the large acorn squash as it can be difficult to cut with a dull knife.
