Acorn squash, like its name suggests, comes in a delightful acorn shape. Its dense, thick skin is most often a dark emerald green with golden markings. It has bright orange flesh with a sweet, nutty flavor.

One of the easiest ways to enjoy Acorn squash is to cut it in half and roast it in the oven with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
