Besides Labor Day, September 7 is also National Acorn Squash Day celebrating one of fall’s most versatile vegetables. Named for its distinctive acorn shape, this winter squash is most commonly dark green but also comes in golden, white, and variegated varieties.
Acorn squash can be baked, roasted, steamed, sautéed, or stuffed with everything from vegetables and rice to meat and cheese. Even the seeds can be roasted for a tasty snack.
It’s also a nutritious addition to your fall menu, providing fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and other important nutrients. Celebrate by picking up an acorn squash at your local farmers market or grocery store and trying a new fall recipe., maybe the one in the picture!
