Kittencal'S Baked Acorn Squash
- 1 medium acorn squash (halved and seeded)
- 4 teaspoons soft butter
- 1 pinch cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 -4 teaspoons maple syrup
- cinnamon (optional)
- Set oven to 400 degrees F.
- Grease a small baking dish with high sides.
- Place each half of squash cut-side up into the baking dish.
- Add in about 1/2 inch water into the bottom of the baking dish so that the skins will not burn and the squash won't get dried out.
- In a small bowl combine the cinnamon with soft butter.
- Coat the inside of each half with 2 teaspoons soft butter, mixture then add in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the cavity of each half.
- Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup over the brown sugar.
- Bake uncovered for about 1 hour and 10-15 minutes or until the squash is very soft and the tops are browned.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 20-30 minutes (this will allow the brown sugar/butter mixture to thicken slightly).
- Using a spoon drizzle the buttery sugar mixture over any exposed area of the baked squash.
- Serve and enjoy!
