Roasted Maple Acorn Squash

Jyoti's Tasty Tip:

Have you tried organic acorn squash for your Thanksgiving dinner? Try this one; it’s easy and comfy. Anybody who tried this always thought it’s a butternut squash. And when I say it is acorn squash, they will say “really”. They couldn’t believe it .

Remember, it's all about the taste!   Chef Jyoti
