Ingredients
- 1 Acorn Squash
- 4 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 2 tbsp Butter
- Kosher Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Split squash from stem to stem. Pull apart, and scrape out seeds and stringy bits from the inside, leaving the flesh intact.
- Slice a thin section off the back of the squash, leaving a flat area for the squash to stand on.
- Place both halves of squash, cut side up, on a cooking sprayed sheet pan or casserole dish.
- Salt & Pepper each squash liberally. Put 2 tablespoons brown sugar inside each piece, and dollop 1 tablespoon butter on top of each side.
- Add a bit more salt and pepper, and put in oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from oven and serve, being careful to let the syrup cool a bit to avoid burns.
