Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 acorn squash
2 tablespoons butter (I use salted butter)
2 heaping tablespoons dark brown sugar
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375º
  • Cut squash in half carefully, from end to end, with a sharp knife. Scoop out seeds and stringy stuff with a spoon. Place cut-side down in baking dish and prick the skin a few times with the knife tip. Add about a ¼-inch of water to the dish so the squash doesn't burn or dry out. Bake in oven for 40 - 45 minutes.
  • Turn squash over and add 1 tablespoon butter to each cavity, a sprinkle of salt, and then 1 heaping tablespoon of brown sugar. Return to oven and bake another 10- 15 minutes, adding more water if necessary.
  • The squash will be very soft and tender when done, remove from oven and swirl the butter mixture around the sides and tops of the squash. Scoop out flesh and serve, make sure to get all the buttery sugar glaze! Enjoy!

MICROWAVE ACORN SQUASH



Microwave Acorn Squash image

Just microwave! You don't have to use the oven. You can just do one acorn squash instead of two, if you choose. Pricking all over, then putting in the microwave for a few minutes to soften a little, makes it easier to cut.
