MAPLE ACORN SQUASH

This Maple Acorn Squash has been one of our favorite fall foods for 7 years now. I make it several times each year and I think by the end of winter my family is hoping I get sick of acorn squash. It’s super easy to throw together and makes the perfect side dish.

INGREDIENT OPTIONS

We typically purchase Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter which is made with milk from grass-fed cows. We get ours from Costco (Clean Eating Costco Shopping List) but they should be available at your local grocery store too.

When a recipe calls for brown sugar, we use Truvia’s Brown Sugar Blend. It is made from erythritol, molasses, and Stevia leaf extract. It measures and sweetens cup for cup!
