Squash is undoubtedly one of the highlights of my fall produce haul. Butternut, acorn, spaghetti - I love em’ all! Acorn squash is one of my favorites because it bakes down to be so incredibly buttery and tender. This blossoming squash skillet packs all the savory notes I love about the season.

Another perk of this meal is the simple cast iron prep. Cast iron cooking is easy and full of flavor. Whether you want to cook the squash on a sheet before or do all the prep in your skillet, this bake is rich in an abundance of fall flavor.
