The honey adds such a fabulous sugary depth to this dish while the almond milk and vanilla extract give you that blast of sweetness that pairs so nicely with the savory garlic powder atop this ol' acorn squash. You can enjoy this dish alone or alongside some protein for lunch or dinner. I actually just sliced up some leftovers and added it to my morning oatmeal and mid-day smoothie, so you can add it to your breakfast and snacks, too!

Ingredients
  • 2 large acorn squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 1 cup brewed green tea
  • 1 teaspoon honey, agave nectar, or stevia
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, preferably organic

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Lay the squash skin side up in a shallow baking pan. Pour the tea over the squash and bake for 35 minutes.
