This easy to make Garlic and Blue Cheese Roasted Acorn Squash recipe is sure to be a new dinner time favorite!

I have to confess that this Garlic and Blue Cheese Roasted Acorn Squash was my very first acorn squash experience. I’ve eyed them at the market eleventy bajillion times, but just never really knew what to do with one.

I finally took the plunge and grabbed one on my way through produce last week. And then I let it sit on my counter challenging me for several days. It’s steely stare finally bore through my foodie soul last night, and I had my way with that squash. Boy did I ever.
