ACORN SQUASH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise. Use a soupspoon to scoop out the seeds and discard them. Arrange the squash cut-side-up on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle the oil evenly over each piece and then bake the squash until the flesh is tender and can be easily pierced with the tines of a fork-30 to 40 minutes. Set aside until it is cool enough to handle.
• Scoop the flesh of the squash into a blender and puree it until it is smooth; this will give you about 2 cups of puree. Then add the flour, milk, eggs, baking powder, vanilla, and salt, and blend this mixture until just smooth.
• Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is hot and the butter is melted, pour about ½ cup of the batter into the pan; this will make one pancake, about 4 inches in diameter. Cook the batter until bubbles start to pop on its surface and the bottom is nicely browned. Then flip the pancake and cook it until the other side is also brown and the edges are dry-about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Repeat with the remainder of the batter.
• Serve with extra butter, syrup, fruit, or whatever you like!

ACORN SQUASH PALEO WRAPS

Steps:

• Cut, clean, peel, and dice your acorn squash.
• Preheat your oven to 375°F.
• Place your squash cubes in a food processor and pulse into a consistency finer than rice is achieved.
• Microwave your fine squash pieces for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened and steamy. You can steam them if you do not have (or want to use) a microwave.
• Place your squash into your cheesecloth or kitchen towel, wrap tightly, and try to squeeze out as much water as possible. Caution: water will be hot.
• Let your cheesecloth hang from your kitchen faucet for 10 minutes, then come back and try to squeeze out more water. The goal is to remove as much water as possible.
• Mix 1 cup (packed) of your strained squash per 1 egg. Season lightly with chili powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Basically just a tiny shake or dusting of each. For a thinner product, use 3 cups of squash and 2 eggs.
• Line your baking sheet with parchment paper, and pour your squash/egg mixture into 3 to 4 inch circles. Use the back of a spoon to spread them out, making sure you cannot see through them at any point.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then carefully use a spatula to remove them from the parchment paper and flip them.
• Continue baking for another 5 to 8 minutes.
• Allow your tortilla wraps to cool for a few minutes on a cooling rack or another baking sheet.
• Finish off your wraps by searing them in a hot pan to add color and some caramelization.
• Note: you can also make these on a greased griddle, as you would make pancakes.
