Do you ever get excited about a new fruit or vegetable, only to get home and have no idea what to do with it? I'm that way with winter squash a little bit. I love when all of the beautiful acorn squash and other winter squash start to appear when the weather cools down, and I just can't resist picking up a couple.
But then I get home and realize that I have no plan for these pretty squash.
You know I'm not going to waste food, so I do what I always do with things I'm not sure Mr. Table will be thrilled about eating - I make them into breakfast!
I've found that this simple honey roasted acorn squash with cinnamon is such a delicious way to prepare acorn squash, and it makes an easy and tasty breakfast when paired with Greek yogurt, granola and pumpkin seeds. And it makes your house smell heavenly while it cooks!
To make this yummy honey roasted acorn squash, simply cut the squash into quarters (you'll need a very sharp knife!), scoop out the seeds, and place the squash on a baking sheet. Then sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with Beeotic Honey and roast until it's nice and tender.
Beeotic Honey is specialty honey from Australia that has been clinically tested and shown to naturally contain 340 mg of prebiotics per serving. (Remember that prebiotics is simply a special type of carbohydrate that humans can't digest, so it moves on to the gut, where it helps feed the good bacteria that live there.) And each batch is tested to ensure that it provides the prebiotics it claims. So you can support your gut health in a sweet way!
And since these breakfast bowls contain prebiotics and probiotics (thanks to Greek yogurt), they're a great way to start your day off in a healthy way that is also good for your gut.
After you've cooked your prebiotic honey roasted squash, you can make your breakfast bowls right away, or refrigerate the squash to make breakfast prep quick and easy the next morning. Customize them any way you'd like with different granolas, seeds or nuts, and even add fruit, if you want. You'll get a nourishing serving of vegetables along with pre- and probiotics first thing in the morning!
