You asked, we delivered: for those of you who came out to McGill’s Build Your Own Bento event and wanted to know how to make the acorn squash, here it is.

This recipe highlights the flavours of the acorn squash while giving it depth through the addition of honey and curry powder. The honey caramelizes as the squash roasts in the oven, which forms a rich caramel flavour. Though perhaps an unusual addition, curry powder brings an earthy taste that highlights the hearty fall flavour of squash.
