Baked Acorn Squash Recipe
Author: Ashley
Recipe type: Side Dish
- 1 acorn squash
- 1 tbsp light butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- Salt
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut the acorn squash in half from the stem on top to bottom and scoop out the stringy flesh and seeds.
- Using a sharp knife score each half of the acorn squash in a crosshatch pattern but be careful not to cut through the outer skin of the squash.
- Then spread ½ tbsp of butter onto each half, sprinkle each with 1 tbsp of brown sugar, a dash of salt and drizzle with 1 tsp of maple syrup.
- Place each half in a shallow baking dish filled with ¼- ½ inch of water. (The water will help keep the squash moist while baking)
- Bake for 60-75 minutes until the squash is soft all the way through and beginning to lightly brown on top.
- Spoon the pooled melted butter, sugar & syrup sauce over all the exposed squash.
- Serve & enjoy!
Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon or nutmeg for additional flavor.
