Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut the acorn squash in half lengthwise.
- Remove the seeds and stringy pulp from the center of the squash.
- Spread the cut sides of each half with 1 tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle each half with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
- Place in a baking pan, cut sides up. Bake for about 1 hour or until the squash is very tender.
- Serve one half squash per person.
Notes
- Please note that I've written this recipe for two (2) servings - that requires just one squash. Simply multiply the recipe for the number that you'd like to serve.
- Optional seasonings: A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg adds warmth or add a touch of salt for contrast.
