Acorn squash peeling made easy. The deep grooves in acorn squash make it hard to peel. First, peel the bumps. Then, slice the squash between the grooves to make wedges. Remove the seeds from the wedges and peel the skin from the outside edge. You can then cut them to the size that you need for your recipe. This makes a good dish for a high fiber diet.
- 1 small acorn squash, about 6 inches in diameter
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and sliced
- 2 teaspoons trans-free margarine
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
