This different and flavorful way of roasting acorn squash from Martha Stewart infuses delicate wedges of tender squash with a sweet syrup of olive oil, rosemary and balsamic vinegar. An easy way to serve squash from your dutch oven, add more shallots if you can, they sweeten like candy as they cook. I roasted mine in a 12 inch oven with 12 coals in a ring around the bottom and the lid completely covered with 28-30 coals, you'll need a blazing hot oven. With only a few ingredients, the clean, simple flavors of this side dish will go well with any roast on your fall table.
Roasted Acorn Squash, Shallots, and Rosemary
2 acorn squash, halved and cleaned
8 shallots
6 small sprigs fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried)
3 Tblsp olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tsp coarse salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
Lightly oil or spray dutch oven.

Peel shallots, leaving root ends intact (separate into lobes, if large).
Combine shallots, squash, rosemary, olive oil and balsamic vinegar in dutch oven.
Season with salt and pepper; toss well to coat.
Bake at 450 degrees for 40-45 minutes, turning squash halfway through, until browned and tender.
