If you are looking for a side dish that is just as beautiful to look at as it is to make, then this acorn squash is just what you need! With just a few ingredients, this dish is everything there is to love about squash – sweet, tender, and delicious!

For years, I sliced my acorn squash in half, scooped out the pulpy insides and then cut it into small wedges to roast. Finally, one day it occurred to me to make a whole slice and remove the center with a cookie cutter to make this bloom shape. Don’t you think it would be absolutely perfect for a ladies’ luncheon?

Ready in about 30 minutes, I drizzle the slices with a little bit of olive oil and maple syrup. Then, I sprinkle them with salt and pepper and roast them in the oven until they are fork tender and fragrant.

    I served this tonight with frozen peas in the “holes.” I brought the peas to a boil to defrost and then drained and immediately scooped them in the circles. Put one squash ring filled with peas next to each Cornish hens. I also served Uncle Bens seasoned wild rice from a box mix and cranberry sauce. My husband and I loved this squash recipe.
