curry roasted acorn squash
With only 10 minutes of prep and 5 ingredients you can make this heavenly Curry Roasted Acorn Squash. It’s so delicious you’ll want to eat it with a spoon!
We went to the farm down the hill from us yesterday and picked out all of our pumpkins for Halloween. We got more than a hundred pounds of pumpkins. [Sounds a bit excessive now that I type that.] Then I proceeded to buy a huge spaghetti squash, two acorn squashes and a butternut squash. [Okay yes definitely obsessive.] The pumpkins are all lined up on our porch now, ready for carving. And the squashes are spread out on the counter in my kitchen. My daughters each picked out a jack be little mini pumpkin gourd and have been pretending they are their babies. [Uh oh, maybe it runs in the family.]
The squash obsession thing has been going on for weeks now. Every time I see squash at the store or the Farmers’ Market, I buy several. I just can’t help it.
A few months ago my friend Lindsay of The Lean Green Bean emailed me and asked if I would be interested in contributing a guest post while she was on maternity leave. At that point in early fall, I was already starting my squash obsession, so I told her I would be happy to share a recipe with her readers, and that I would love to do something with squash. 
Thankfully, Lindsay, being a registered dietitian, was happy to have a healthy squash recipe so I developed this easy as can be roasted acorn squash recipe for her. It has some coconut oil, a touch of brown sugar and curry on it. It is so easy and delicious. We loved it. I recommend eating it with a spoon. I hope her readers will like it too. Hop on over there to check out the recipe, and be sure to click through to follow her on social media too. She posts about all sorts of healthy things, not just recipes. So you’ll definitely want to keep up with her.

QUESTIONS?
Are you dealing with squash obsession too?
What have you been making with squash this fall?
I deal with a squash obsession – YEAR ROUND – I eat spaghetti squash every day of my life! ha ha. Intense, right?! Well a friend of mine brought over a WHITE ACORN SQUASH the other day and my world has been flipped UPSIDE DOWN!!! No words can describe how amazing it is, so do try and find it and roast it! 🙂
We got some of those from our CSA a few years ago, but I haven’t seen them since. They were great indeed. I am glad to know I am not the only one who is nutty for squash.
I, too, am obsessed. Two weeks ago we went to this cabin in the woods, they had an enormous garden and I returned with all the squash/pumpkin I could fit in the car. lol. Now I need to cook with it. Can’t wait. Your recipes look amazing. Glad to have found your blog!
Hey Melanie, me too! Thanks so much for coming by, and I’m glad you left a comment saying hello.
My taste buds are SOOOO turned on by ALL of these squash recipes 🙂
Totally GiGi. I am an equal opportunity squash lover.
