I just chop them in half, scoop out the seeds. Rub it with oil and garlic and add salt and pepper. I roast it in the oven, I don't own a airfryer. You can also rub it with any spice rub of your choosing, I love za'atar and it tastes delicious with mint,yogurt sauce

This definitely feels oven worthy!

Cooking: Covered then uncovered?

Uncovered. For sure! That way it gets the little crispy bits on it. If you don’t want those then flip it over skin side out and poke a few times with a knife to vent the steam

What temp and time do you use for the oven?

It depends on size for time but I usually do 375 for roughly 35-40 minutes and check with a fork to see if soft.

Not saying I’m gonna do it but I bet these would be amazing blended with ricotta, Parmesan cheese and eggs to make mini soufflé cups.

I was inspired by this post to buy one!!!
I still haven’t cooked it. What’s your favorite method?

ok!

so first i put it in the microwave for like 2 mins to soften it so i can cut it. acorn squashes are HARD!!

cut in half, place cut side down in oven to ROAST for 20-ish mins at 350°F, then cut side up with a dollop of butter (and optional brown sugar) in the cavity for another 30-ish mins.

if its soft enough for ur liking its done!

(so yum!...also, i ALWAYS add the "optional" brown sugar )

VERY hard to cut.
I cut a few slices (cook faster)-cut seeds out-
Put a little butter on, cook in oven, then finish w brown sugar, bake a little longer til melted. Yummy goodness.
So good

Will seriously need to try the sweet recipes. i swear I can smell it cooking with a sugary, buttery, cinnamon mix on it. I have never heard of / eaten squashes this way. Its always savory here. Always in Soups or roasted.
