WAFFLE-IRON ACORN SQUASH
I love to get the kids involved in cooking, and this squash is so simple even a small child can cook it with minimal adult supervision. The recipe is fun, fast and no-fuss, and doesn't use valuable oven space before big family meals. -Donna Kelly, Orem, Utah

Tips:
- Choose the right squash. Use a firm, ripe squash that is free of blemishes. Butternut squash, kabocha squash, and pumpkin are all good choices.
- Roast the squash before making the waffles. Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and makes it easier to mash.
- Use a waffle maker that is hot and well-oiled. This will help the waffles cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the waffles tough.
- Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Maple syrup, butter, and fresh fruit are all great options.
