Pomegranate Acorn Squash with Burrata is my recipe of the day with the Festive Foodies group for Holiday Side Dish Week. Glad you could join us!
Print Recipe
My offering is for a roasted acorn squash stuffed with burrata cheese and topped with a few other ingredients, such as maple syrup, caramelized onions, toasted walnuts and both pomegranate arils and pom molasses.
It makes a substantial side if you eat an entire half by yourself. Or you can share it with your besties. Unless you want to have it as a vegetarian entree. The choice is yours.

Ingredients
- 1 acorn squash
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 medium onion thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter

- Place cut side up on nonstick foil and bake for one hour or until the flesh is tender.
- While squash bakes, gently cook onions in a small skillet until the onions soften, and continuing to cook until butter begins to brown. Immediately turn out the onions and butter to a bowl so it does not burn.
- When squash is done, fill cavity with caramelized onions and place a 4 ounce lobe of cheese into each one.
- Top cheese with walnuts, maple syrup, pomegranate arils, and drizzle with pomegranate molasses.
- Each half will serve two as a side, or one person as a larger vegetarian main dish.
