This Roasted Acorn Squash with Sage Butter is a simple but tasty addition to any fall meal.
This is so simple - it only takes a couple of minutes to put together and then about an hour in the oven. I look at it about 40 minutes in and poke it with my fork so some of the butter kind of gets soaked into the squash.
The salt, pepper, butter and sage make their own little sauce as it bakes.
I served it as part of my Thanksgiving menu with stuffed Cornish Hens in Orange Apricot Glaze and this Root Vegetables au Gratin.
