Acorn Squash

Ingredients

1 medium acorn squash

halved and seeded

1 tablespoon butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Turn acorn squash upside down onto a cookie sheet. Bake in a 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven until it begins to soften approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

Step 3

Remove squash from the oven and turn onto a plate so that the flesh is facing upwards. Place butter and brown sugar into the squash and place remaining squash over the other piece. Place squash in a baking dish (so the squash won't slide around too much) while baking.

Step 4

Place squash in the 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven and bake another 30 minutes.
