Credit: Andy Lyons Acorn squash is ideal for roasting, soups, salads, or stuffing; its skin softens after baking, making peeling unnecessary. Choose firm, heavy squash with unblemished skin; store whole in a cool, dry place for up to 2 months or refrigerate for 4 days. To prepare, wash, halve, and remove seeds; roast at 425°F for 20–25 minutes; microwave for a quicker option in 7–10 minutes. If you shop the produce aisles of the grocery store, you’ve probably seen acorn squash on the store shelves.
