This roasted acorn squash recipe is easy to make and quite delicious! Roasted acorn squash is perfect any time of the year, but is bursting full of those yummy fall flavors like cinnamon and nutmeg!
Todayโs Roasted Sweet Squashling recipe is inspired by Hearthstoneโs card Squashling from the Witchwood expansion. This 2 cost, 2/1 card has echo and a battlecry that restores 2 health to you or a minion! A great card! And technically the card has a pumpkin on the front, because pumpkins are a type of squash. Acorn squash is also a squash (obviously) and since it is July, that is what is available at the grocery stores! Maybe in October Iโll make a squashling pie (pumpkin pie!), but until then this roasted acorn squash recipe will have to do. Not that I mind, itโs a delicious recipe!
