Ingredients
- 1 large acorn squash halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon separated
- sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Chop the acorn squash in half lengthwise (from tip to tail). Use a metal spoon to scoop out the seeds and innards. Drizzle about half a tablespoon of olive oil over the flesh of each half and use your hands to rub the oil into the flesh, ensuring the whole surface of the flesh gets lightly coated. Sprinkle with sea salt and about a ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon per half. Place the acorn squash on a baking sheet cut-side down and bake for 40 to 50 minutes (depending on size of the squash), or until flesh is very soft when poked with a fork.
- In a small pot, heat the butter, honey, bourbon, and the remaining cinnamon (¼ teaspoon) over medium heat until the mixture comes to a full boil. Allow mixture to cook about 1 minute to allow the alcohol in the whisky to cook off.
- Pour half of the bourbon butter honey mixture into the center well of each half of roasted acorn squash. Sprinkle with sea salt and additional cinnamon if desired. Serve hot and enjoy.
