ROASTED ACORN SQUASH

Just toss slices of acorn squash with honey, olive oil, freshly ground black pepper and salt and pop into a hot oven for about a half hour.

HONEY ROASTED SQUASH RINGS
How sweet it is!!! The original recipe in a community cookbook specifies 400F and I haven't had any problems - but I need a new stove; however, I've decreased the temperature to 350F based on the comments & suggestions from Zaar chefs.

ACORN SQUASH RINGS
Steps:
- Slice the squash into one and one half inch rings. Remove seeds and strings and place on buttered nonstick baking sheet. Top with remaining butter, season with salt and pepper and bake at 375 degrees for approximately 25 minutes, turning once, so that the squash is cooked through and still retains its shape. Serve with cranberry relish.

- Here's a great way to get your kids to eat squash! Just pierce the stem end of a spaghetti squash with a knife or metal skewer, and place on roasting sheet. Roast at 350 for about an hour, open, and create strands by pulling away the flesh with your fork. Serve with butter and Parmesan cheese or tomato sauce.
ROASTED DELICATA SQUASH WITH HOT HONEY
While I rarely cook with winter squash, I do make an exception for delicata squash because its flavor is milder and I don't have to peel it! If you haven't tried hot honey before, it's amazing on roasted vegetables and meats of all kinds.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line large baking sheet with foil. Spray with nonstick vegetable oil spray. Cut off both ends of each squash. Cut each squash crosswise into 4 rings. Scoop out seeds and discard. Place squash rings in single layer on prepared baking sheet. Cover baking sheet tightly with foil. Bake until squash begins to soften, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk next 5 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Remove foil from squash. Brush half of honey mixture over squash. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake uncovered 10 minutes. Brush remaining honey mixture over squash; continue to bake until squash is brown, tender and glazed, about 10 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose firm squash rings with smooth, unblemished skin. Look for rings that are about 1 inch thick.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to cut the squash into rings. Just be careful to make the rings even so they cook evenly.
- To make the honey-roasted squash rings extra crispy, toss them with a little cornstarch before roasting.
- For a sweeter flavor, use honey that has a strong floral aroma, such as clover honey or orange blossom honey.
- Serve the honey-roasted squash rings immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
