Lemon-Tahini Roasted Squash
This tangy dressing is perfect with the rich buttery flavor of the squash. The best part about acorn squash is that its skin is edible so there is no need to peel it!
Slice the squash in half, then into one inch pieces. Toss together with the spices and some oil, and roast in oven until tender and lightly golden.
For the dressing, whisk everything together until smooth. Thin it out a bit with some water, just enough until you get the consistency you like.
