Ingredients
- 3 acorn squash
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup plus extra for drizzling on top
- 1/4 cup toasted chopped pecans
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Maldon sea salt for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Cut the squash in half from the stem down. Scoop out the seeds from each half and place them on the baking sheet cut side up. Brush with olive oil or spray them with an olive oil or avocado oil cooking spray.
- In a small bowl combine the cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle an equal amount onto each squash half.
- Add the slices of butter to each half and evenly distribute the maple syrup into the squash. Bake for 45 minutes and then remove from the oven and sprinkle some of the chopped pecans into the melted maple butter. Put the squash back into the oven to bake for another 15 minutes or until they are fork tender.
- Before serving sprinkle with flaky sea salt and an extra drizzle of maple syrup.
