This simple curry roasted acorn squash is the perfect easy Thanksgiving side dish. Packed full of flavor and ready in under 30 minutes!
Growing up my Thanksgiving table looked a little bit like this:
– Turkey (obviously)
– Mashed potatoes
– Green bean casserole
– Cheesy potatoes (my favorite!)
– Yeast rolls
– Baked beans with bacon on top
– Cornbread sage stuffing
– Deviled eggs
– Canned yams topped with marshmallows (my least favorite thing on planet earth)
If I had put down a platter of curry roasted acorn squash I’m pretty sure my family would have looked at me like I had a third eye. First, my dad hates squash because apparently as a child his mother made him eat it stuffed with rice and ground beef. I don’t know, that sounds pretty good to me. I guess if I were forced to eat it growing up I would/could feel different.
However, in my modern day household I can serve whatever I want for Thanksgiving. I guess that’s the good part about being an adult. You get to do what you want when you want.
Basically I’m just a full grown child with power.
I think the addition of curry roasted acorn squash is the perfect Thanksgiving side dish. Why not add a little curry to a traditional American meal?
