This dish is wonderful in two ways. It takes advantage of the produce that is coming into season and it sets your palate for fall. It smells amazing roasting in the oven with the orange and cinnamon wafting around the kitchen.
Ingredients:
1 medium sized winter squash
1 Tbsp. butter
1-2 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. orange juice
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. cinnamon
pinch of ground ginger
1 tsp. grated orange rind
- Peel squash and cut into chunks of fairly thick slices. Arrange in bottom of an oiled casserole.
- In a small pan, melt butter, add honey and juices, stir until well blended. Pour over squash pieces.
- Sprinkle with spices and orange rind and bake 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
- Baste occasionally.
The recipe was from a healthy book, can't remember which one, maybe Superfoods Rx. I have tried it with acorn squash and butternut squash. They are both good. I'll try it next with pumpkin which is on the Superfoods list.
Enjoy!

Yum! I love squash any time of the year!, but it is so fallish feeling. I think it's the cinnamon especially, I cannot wait. Thanks for the "hopeful" dream. It's going back to the 90"s the rest of the week, ugh!

Sherry I LOVE squash and this recipe is a keeper for sure!! SO glad it's healthy -- hubby is recovering from a heart attack so I am only cooking low fat, low sodium now and this fits the bill perfectly! Thanks for sharing it!
This is the perfect recipe for me. I love summer squash, but I have never been a huge fan of winter squash. That's odd, too, because I'm crazy about pumpkin. I am going to copy this down to try. It sounds exactly up my alley.
I need to try this. Thanks for sharing.
These are really perfect for the season. Love the way you used orange and zest in this dish.
