How pretty is this Roasted Parmesan Acorn Squash dish? I love squash of all kinds but acorn squash might be my favourite! Pretty slices of squash are seasoned with Parmesan cheese and baked until tender. They make a healthy, flavourful side and are easy to do!
I am a huge fan of all types of squash! The flavours, the texture, and versatility of them means I can have tons of fun creating delicious dishes in the kitchen!
Of all the squash, though, this acorn squash is the prettiest one of all! The beautiful waves it makes when it is cut horizontally is a show stopper, in my books! It looks amazing when plated and always gets positive reviews at dinner parties!
While you can prepare squash in many different ways, roasting it always brings out the best flavour it has to offer! And with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, this roasted squash is a lovely, simple side dish that gives off great flavour!
