Brown Butter Roasted Acorn Squash with Toasted Hazelnuts, Pomegranates and Squash Seeds
From a young age, while everyone else in my generation was turning their noses up at vegetables of any kind, I was welcoming roasted carrots, fresh green beans and creamed spinach with open arms. As I sit here, I’m racking my brain, trying to think of a veggie I didn’t like as a kid, and, I’m at a total loss – I honestly think I relished them all.
