SPICED ACORN SQUASH
Working full time, I found I didn't always have time to cook the meals my family loved, so I re-created many of those dishes in the slow cooker. This treatment for squash is one of our favorites. -Carol Greco, Centereach, New York

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place the squash halves face-down in a baking dish in 1 inch of water and bake until flesh is tender, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the sausage in the oil until brown, breaking the meat into small pieces as it cooks; set aside.
- Once the squash halves are tender, discard the water. Generously sprinkle brown sugar into the cavity of each squash half, reserving about 1/4 cup for later use. Fill the squash halves with the browned sausage, and top with the reserved brown sugar. Return squash to the baking dish and bake until the sugar begins to melt, about 15 minutes.

SPICY STUFFED ACORN SQUASH
I absolutely love acorn squash, but find most recipes for it to be much too sugary for me; after all, the acorn squash is naturally sweet on its own. This recipes adds no sugar--only a little apple juice for sweetness--and uses coriander, curry and a bit of cayenne to compliment the flavor of the squash. Yum! From The Vegetarian Gourmet.

SPICY VEGAN ACORN SQUASH SOUP
This is a delicious vegetarian/vegan stew I made while experimenting one night. It's very low fat and delicious! The squash and yam are very mellow, almost sweet flavors, but the Indian spices (especially the chile powder!) give it some kick. The preparation time is probably exaggerated... I'm just learning to cook, but it is a lot of veggie chopping. It's well worth it, though!

- Maple-Roasted Acorn Squash. This is one of Ina Garten’s favorite acorn squash recipes—it comes from her book Cook Like a Pro. To make it, you’ll hollow out as many acorn squash halves as you’re willing to prep, season them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, then fill the cavities with maple syrup and butter.
- Sheet-Pan Cumin Chicken Thighs With Squash, Fennel, and Grapes. These chicken thighs are rubbed with cumin, then set on top of sliced acorn squash and grapes.
- Grain Bowl With Spiced Squash, Mushrooms, and Curried Yogurt. This hearty dish can be made with a variety of grains or pseudo-grains (think barley, quinoa, or brown rice) and whichever winter squash or root vegetable you prefer.
- Winter Squash Soup With Gruyère Croutons. You’ll need 3 pounds of squash total for this recipe—we like using a mixture of acorn and butternut squash—but if you spot something else at the farmers market that strikes your fancy, go for it.
- Instant Pot Bisibelabath. The name of this South Indian dish translates to “hot lentil rice,” so expect some heat from the chiles here. Serve with creamy, cooling raita.
- Sheet-Pan Roasted Squash and Feta Salad. For a vegetarian salad with tons of texture and contrast, roast acorn squash with other winter squash, such as delicata, alongside feta cheese and cubes of bread, then toss with pleasantly bitter greens and bracing sherry vinaigrette.
- Braised Chicken Thighs With Squash and Mustard Greens. This rich, savory braise can be made ahead and reheated when you're ready to eat. The starch from the squash adds sweetness and helps to thicken the broth, keeping it gluten-free.
- Steamed Squash With Ginger-Soy Dressing. Steaming is an excellent way to cook squash. Take it from one reviewer who called the results “tender, moist, and almost…fluffy.”
- Roasted Squash With Herb Oil and Goat Cheese. Tired of struggling with hard, raw squash on your cutting board? For this recipe, you’ll roast the squash whole, then scoop out its buttery interior.
- Roasted Acorn Squash and Honey. Honey adds a touch of sweetness to this easy acorn squash side dish. Saving your honey for tea? Swap it out for brown sugar—the fresh sage and grassy olive oil are enough to keep this sweet dish plenty savory.
