3/4 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 T minced garlic (3 cloves)
2 T minced fresh rosemary leaves


1 :: preheat oven to 400°F. 

2 :: place acorn squash cut side down in a glass casserole dish. 

3 :: cut potatoes in quarters and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary until well coated. spread on baking sheet in a single layer and bake with squash about one hour, or until potatoes are brown and crisped. flip twice with a spatula during cooking to ensure even browning.

    hi gardengirl! (can i call you gg?=) i usually make acorn and butternut squash with butter and brown sugar. the sage adds a really nice flavor. i'm looking for savory ways to prepare it too. i'm more of a savory person, but i love this sweet buttery squash.

    lauren, there are some members that add their own art and decorations. it looks so nice. i'll have to show photos of the fall decor!
