Ingredients
- 1 acorn squash
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- pinch of salt
Instructions
Cut the acorn squash
- Clean the acorn squash and place it in the microwave. Microwave for 1 minute so that it’s easier to cut.
- Stabilize the squash on a cutting board, and cut the acorn squash in half lengthwise.
- Scrape out the seeds and stringy bits inside using a metal spoon.
Microwave the acorn squash
- Place the squash cut-side down onto a microwave-safe dish. Add water.
- Microwave for about 5 minutes on full power until the squash is tender. (Note: times may vary by microwave strength, so add extra time for tabletop microwaves, and reduce time for powerful microwaves.)
- Using oven mitts to prevent burns, carefully remove the squash from the microwave. Turn the cut side up in the same dish.
- Add brown sugar, butter, maple syrup, and salt into the hollow. Microwave for about 2-3 minutes or until the mixture is fully melted and bubbly. Serve hot as a side dish and enjoy!
Notes
- Select high-quality acorn squash for this recipe.
- To make it easier to cut the acorn squash, it’s better to microwave it for 1 minute first.
- Season with butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and salt for the best flavor.
