Just toss slices of acorn squash with honey, olive oil, freshly ground black pepper and salt and pop into a hot oven for about a half hour.

I love to fix acorn squash this way. It's pretty and impressive to serve, a tasty combination of fruit and vegetable and my favorite side dish when I make meat loaf. My husband, who was a "meat and potatoes" man when we were married, requests this dish often.
