Roasted Sweet Dumpling Squash

Since the Fall season started, I've been in the mood to cook Squash.  This squash is called Sweet Dumpling.  It has yellow skin with bright orange or deep green stripes.  It's super cute and flavorful when baked in the oven. The flesh is starchy with a slight corn flavor.  This size is perfect for stuffing too, but I decided to just glaze it with some honey and roast it in the oven.

You can find this squash right in the produce section of your supermarket.  During this time a year, you can find them pretty much anywhere. 

Take a spoon and scoop out the seeds.  I kept the seeds, I'm going to dry them and hope that I can grow a plant next year.

I am super happy with the results..the honey gave the squash a nice glaze.  The Sweet Dumpling is living up to it's name, it's really sweet and delicious.
