Instant Pot Acorn Squash

This is one of my favorite times of the year, fall. I love fall when all of the squashes are available at the grocery store. There is nothing like a great piece of Instant Pot Acorn Squash.

There are so many squashes, and they are all so easy to prepare in the IJnstnat Pot. Today, I made simple roasted acorn squash, but there are so many ways you can spice these up, with just a few spices and ingredients. I gave you some of my favorites in the tips section of this post.

Acorn Squash

If you are not familiar with acorn squash, it is the green roundish vegetable in the produce aisle. It is from the same family as zucchini and other summer squashes. It is one of my favorite vegetables to buy because you don’t need to use it right away. Acorn Squash will last for weeks before you need to cook it.
