This was a very unique way of preparing squash. I used Acorn squash as the recipe stated, the only thing I did differently was to use seasoned salt in place of regular. I loved the flavor that the beer added, I however thought this was far too oily. Whenh covering the pan with foil, the oil is not needed to keep it moist. I would totally delete it the next time I prepare this. -
This was such an interesting way of preparing squash, so I had to try it. I thought it came out quite oily, I wouldn't use oil next time, but the beer gave it such a distinct flavour it was delicious. I also added garlic seasoning and parmesan just to add a little more flavour.
