Some acorn squash has similar color as kabocha, so I think it's easy to make a mistake. ;) I love eggplants, but I had never roast it at home (I like it in my sandwich when I buy sandwich outside). This is my next eggplant dish! I always love the flavor and texture of eggplant, but the rest of my family is not into it... Thanks for this roasted eggplant recipe!

I didn't expect much from it but since it was small and I now know it roasts so quickly and I'd gotten it at the farmer's market, I thought I'd give it another go. And this acorn squash tasted so much better than the first I had! This one was much sweeter and had a slightly fluffier texture than the first. Big, big difference between the one I got at the supermarket and the one I picked up from the organic growers in the farmer's market. Just had to get that off my chest. : )Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439320856223502707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628445235517647413.post-66022941568527570982014-10-15T22:33:22.270-04:002014-10-15T22:33:22.270-04:00I hear you!

I was eating them like French fries. They're not as sweet as some chestnuts or Japanese sweet potatoes but it's really fluffy and you can still taste squash but it's also very much like potato/chestnuts. You have to try it. Good luck finding it. I'm going to make sure I buy more soon since I'm not sure when the season ends.
