Ingredients
- 2 acorn squash
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For a sweet acorn squash
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp butter
For a more savoury scorn squash
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400F.
- Wash and pat dry the acorn squash.
- Cut the acorn squash in half, from stem to bottom.
- Scoop out the inside of the acorn squash.
- Lightly brush the insides with a bit of olive oil
- Roast for 40 minutes, cut side up.
For a sweeter acorn squash:
- At the 20 minute mark, add a tbsp of butter and maple syrup to the middle of the squash. Let the mixture melt in the oven for a minute then using brush the entire cut side of the squash with the mixture.
For a more savoury acorn squash:
- At the 20 minute mark, brush on more olive oil, and sprinkle on some salt and pepper
- Serve as is when ready or stuff with your choice of stuffing.
Notes
- If you want to step it up a notch, to make the savoury acorn squash more fancy as a stand alone side dish for the holidays, I'd suggest at the 30 minute mark, add onto the acorn squash a mixture of olive oil, grated parmesan, and herbs of your choice.
- To make the sweet acorn squash slightly fancier, you can sprinkle on cinnamon and nutmeg at the 30 minute mark.
- The seeds that you scooped out earlier can be treated like pumpkin seeds and be roasted.
