Ingredients for Roasted Acorn Squash:
1 acorn squash
3 tablespoons salted butter
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
How to Make It:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Start by cutting the acorn squash in half lengthwise. This is harder than it looks, so be careful and take your time. Scoop out all the seeds and discard.
3. Melt the butter over the stove or in a microwave and add into a medium sized bowl. Into your butter bowl, add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and stir. Fill your halved acorn squashes with the mixture (just divide it as equally as you can)
4. Lay each halved squash on a piece of the foil and carefully wrap up the squash. You want to get it pretty secure here, so you don't end up with a major hot mess in the oven. Think of the squash as a bowl, and don't tip out any of the brown sugar mixture. Place into the oven the same way. If you are worried about the mixture spilling out, you can use a casserole dish to place the acorn squash in.
5. Bake for 55 minutes.Unwrap the foil carefully and allow to cool for 10 minutes. You can cut gridlines in the squash if desired, but do this delicately without cutting through the skin and allowing the mixture to leak out.
6. Time to serve!
I hope you enjoy!
