Rustic Oven Roasted Mini Pumpkin Squash
Hi Everyone, we grew these mini pumpkins shown in these pictures in our garden over the Summer and we had a large yield. They taste like a mixture between butternut and acorn squash. Their skins are thin enough (and when roasted enough) so that they can be left on and eaten (except around the stem). Not having to remove the skins saves considerable time (make sure you get ones that do not have wax on them, in that case I would skin them).
In the recipe card below, I give an option for making them sweet or savory. In the photos here, I made them with salt, pepper and olive oil.
