Easy Acorn Squash and Thanksgiving Side Dishes

Still looking for Thanksgiving side dish ideas? Here’s one that won’t take more than five minutes to prepare and tastes great. No peeling involved – you can eat the skin on acorn squash.
The recipe is so embarrassingly simple, it’s hardly a recipe. Just wash the squash, cut in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and cut into slices about 1/2 inch think. Smear with a little melted butter on both sides, then sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, and a mixture of equal parts bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until you can easily pierce the flesh with a fork.Here are a few more ideas if you still are undecided about side dishes for your Thanksgiving table:
Fennel Gratinée or Roasted Fennel
And as a relief for the digestive system: Citrus salad

Meravigliosi piatti, molti dei quali li conosco bene e li preparo nei giorni di festa. Anche e me piace mettere in tavola molti contorni anche se il piatto principale e' uno solo. La tavola diventa piu preziosa.
Tanti auguri Linda!

I love those little onions, your couscous casserole looks so good I must remember to make that soon and your citrus salad is a stunner!have a wonderful Thanksgiving my friend!
I'm not cooking this year but oh my – the ideas are just grand for the entire winter. Those little stuffed onions caught my eye. Love the reinforcement salad – always make that for Christmas. And the citrus salad is a must.
Gorgeous side dishes. I think I might try making the acorn squash that way…so pretty looking.
