This is an easy, delicious fall/winter side dish. I grabbed a couple of acorn squash from our dwindling stash saved from our last farmers market visit in October. We had this the other night with a roasted chicken.
Ingredients
2 small acorn squash
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
Salt and pepper
Method
- Preheat oven to 400ºF
- Wash the acorn squash well and cut in half, from stem to end.
- Scrape out the seeds (save to roast) with a spoon. Score the insides of each half several times with a sharp knife, be careful not to pierce the skin.
- Place the squash half cut side up in baking dish.
- Place 1/2 tablespoon of butter and 1/2 tablespoon of maple syrup into each half.
- Bake at 400ºF for about 40-50 minutes or until the squash is very tender.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve half of a squash per person. Serves four.
This is a great recipe. I even tried it with Butter Pecan syrup once, fabulous flavor.
