Roasted Acorn Squash with Butter and Sage
- 2 acorn squash (about 2 1/2 pounds each)
- Salt
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- About 20 fresh sage leaves
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Cut each squash lengthwise through the stem into 8 wedges.
- Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds from the wedges.
- Arrange the squash pieces on a big baking pan or your broiler pan, skin side down, and season the flesh generously with salt.
- Drizzle the butter over the flesh and scatter the sage leaves all over.
- Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and cook for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and roast until you can easily pierce a piece of the squash with a fork and meet almost no resistance, about 20 minutes.
- Serve as is, shriveled sage leaves and all.
- You can bake the squash up to a few hours in advance.
- Reheat for about 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 350F before serving.
