Curry Roasted Acorn Squash

curry roasted acorn squash (3)

[I]’m back in my kitchen this week… back from making pies with you up and down the east coast… back from gently and not so gently asking you to buy my dang book… back to my roasting pan.

This acorn squash was patiently awaiting my return.  Just sitting tight, waiting to be more than it already is.

I hacked my way through the protective skin (didn’t even lose a finger), removed the seeds, sliced, and drizzled.

This is the result of those efforts.  Let’s make it together… I mean, right!?

Acorn squash has a lovely orange flesh and an alluring savory sweet quality.  It feels like the perfect match for tingly curry powder and garam masala.

Drizzle and toss.  It tastes better if you use your favorite roasting pan.  Trust me.

Roasted vegetables are enhanced by bright and fresh ingredients. Think:  fresh parsley, pomegranate seeds, tangy greek yogurt.  The warm base flavors of squash are elevated by the brightness.  It’s balance.  We’re doing it.

    This was absolutely delicious! We don’t usually like squash, but this is our favourite now

    Oh my goodness, we had this tonight, and after an endless fall of squash, this was a perfect variation. Delicious!

    I love spiced squash dishes. I add mine to a salad with goats curd and pomegranate. But love the idea of serving it like this with yoghurt.

    Because curry and squash mean yes. I’ve been all about the curry when cooking this week and now I need an acorn squash to try this out. Looks delicious!

    I tried this with a different type of squash from my friends farm which worked out perfectly and opened the frig for yogurt but the goat cheese was there first. The goat cheese, parsley, and squash was delicious.

    Curious about eating the skin as well…I’ve always roasted squash (acorn, delicata…) in halves and scooped out the flesh to eat. Noticed you and Shutterbean have recently posted recipes with the squash skin on. Are you peeling before eating…or…? Is there a ‘rule’ depending on squash type?

    I made this: https://food52.com/recipes/31228-abc-kitchen-s-butternut-squash-on-toast
    tonight with acorn squash and it was awesome. I’m looking forward to this curried acorn squash tomorrow (we grew a lot of squash this year).

    Dear Darling Adorable Beloved Slender Joy, would you and Tracy PLEASE record a new JTB podcast? Thank you. I miss you. For the record, the “Dear Darling Adorable…” is how our fourth grade teacher made us ask for everything (substitute Mrs. Robinson for Joy). That was twenty-five years ago and I still love it and use it all the time. I highly recommend it.

    xo!

    I just made two pumpkin recipes today, but when I see a recipe like this I still feel like making it. Pumpkin just doesn’t get boring I guess.
