Acorn Squash

Acorn squash has a higher carb-count than most the veggies I normally promote, but it works wonderful when accompanied by an extremely low-carb side (spinach salad, zucchini, etc). If you are having trouble making up your carbs at dinner, acorn squash is a wonderful option.

1 acorn squash
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper

Half the squash, then scoop out the seeds. Brush with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Place face down on a baking dish in a 400 degree oven and roast for 35-40 minutes. Serve immediately with a tiny bit of sour cream or chopped scallions.
