Do you thin acorn squash will work as well? Is this Emily from Alaska’s recipe?

Hi Denise! This recipe is from Emily on our sales team. She’s not from Alaska, but she does want to visit one day!
Acorn squash will work as well; however, it typically pairs better with butter vs olive oil. Happy cooking!
