Ingredients

  • 1 acorn squash
  • ¼ melted butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Slice the acorn squash in half and remove all the seeds.
  • Place the acorn squash halves face up foil lined pan.
  • Pour the melted butter over both acorn squash halves. Most of the butter will pool in the center of each half and that’s fine.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar over each half of acorn squash. Add a pinch of salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to each half as well.
  • Bake (skin side down!) for 40-50 minutes, or until a fork goes through the squash easily.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

For added sweetness drizzle with maple syrup after it's done baking!
