Simple Roasted Acorn Squash
Okay, I will admit this side dish is not a very traditional Thanksgiving side dish but will make a great addition to a rounded-out and creative meal. I sometimes crave something other than the usual suspects, like mashed potatoes and stuffing, and preferably gluten-free and dairy-free. As I mention in the title, it is simple, super simple with only 8 ingredients, about 15 minutes of prep time and 20-25 minutes in the oven. I will personally take simple, easy, and non-complicated when it comes to a holiday meal. At least some of the dishes.

It is often times a vegetarian is over looked at the Thanksgiving table when it comes to a main dish. In the past when I was fully vegetarian, my meal consisted of a plate full of vegetarian sides, which in all honesty was fine for me. Mashed potatoes, candied yams, green beans, and corn bread back in the day, was fine by me. However there were times I wanted something special as a holiday main dish.
