Author: Lauriebear of New York
Recipe type: Side Dish
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 1 Acorn Squash cut in half
- 2 tbsp of butter
- 2 tsp of maple syrup
- 2 tbsp of brown sugar
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Cooking Spray
- Garnish with a pinch of rosemary or thyme
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 - 400 degrees (F)
- Cut acorn squash in half & scoop the seeds out (I use a spoon or my hand)
- Add 1 tbsp of butter, 1 tsp of maple syrup, 1 tbsp of brown sugar, salt and pepper in the hole of each scooped out half
- Spray Pyrex baking dish with cooking spray (one that can fit both halves of the squash without touching – you can use really any baking dish)
- Place upright in baking dish
- Roast for 1 hour (you should be able to pierce the skin with a sharp knife)
- Once cooked sprinkle with just a pinch of rosemary or thyme (these are strong spices so it is just to make it look pretty not for flavor)
