If you find the flavor of acorn squash bland, this slow cooker acorn squash might be for you. I got the idea for this slow cooker acorn squash with mango chutney and coconut from the September/October issue of Taste of Home (affiliate link).

WW Friendly Low Fat Acorn Squash with Mango Chutney and Coconut

I love acorn squash, mango chutney, and coconut. So, I decided to give it a try. The most difficult part about this slow cooker acorn squash recipe is cutting the squash.

The Skinny on Slow Cooker Acorn Squash with Mango Chutney and Coconut

I read an acorn squash cooking tip that said it's easier if you pierce the squash a couple of times with a sharp knife and then microwave (affiliate link) it for 2 to 3 minutes first.

Sadly, neither Rod or I were crazy about the flavor combination. The squash itself was moist and sweet, but the mango and coconut was just a little too different for our tastes.

So, I'm planning to make slow cooker acorn squash again, but I'll season it simply with a sprinkle of cinnamon and drizzle of maple syrup instead.

Update: OMG, I'm almost embarrassed to admit this. I think I owe this recipe an apology and will try it again after discovering that the reason it tasted funny was my coconut. I was getting ready to make another recipe using coconut today and decided to taste it before adding it. Yuck. It had gone bad and had the same "weird" taste I attributed to this flavor combination! So, I tossed it before ruining another recipe!

I would love to know what you think if you try it.
