Ingredients:
1 Acorn Squash (also called Danish Squash), cut in half
2 tablespoons of butter
2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
Salt & pepper
Preparation:
Scoop the seeds out of each half with a spoon. I also cut a very small slice from the very top of each half so it "sits up" properly in the oven. This way the melted butter, honey or maple syrup won't spill out. You can also use 4 toothpicks to make it "sit up straight".
Add 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, salt and pepper .
to the hollow scoop of each half. I always sprinkle the brown sugar on top for a more dramatic look and improve the taste.
Place upright on a very lightly greased cookie sheet (or foil lined) and roast for about 1 hour or until tender when flesh is poked with a fork.
This is a wonderfully scrumptious, quick and easy side dish that is great anytime of the year. It serves 2. Double ot triple the recipe for 4 or 6 persons.
