BUTTERY GARLIC ACORN SQUASH

 
 

This easy-to-make buttery garlic acorn squash is out of this world. A gorgeous and flavorful side dish for almost everything! When we first baked it, we all went crazy over the incredible flavor combination. Even one of our team members that is not a fan of acorn squash converted and it’s now a go-to wintery side dish for his family. Because of the mild sweet taste, it goes perfect with garlic. You’ll have to taste it to believe it. Enjoy!
