Ingredients

2 acorn squash, cut into thirds
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 pinch cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg, freshly grated

Directions

1
Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Split the squash into thirds and remove the seeds.

Cut a slice off the bottom of each piece so that it sits evenly, skin-side down, in a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish.

In the hollow of each piece, place 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Bake in the heated oven until fork tender, about 45 minutes.

We are trying to eat more veggies at our house, so I thought I would give this a try for dinner a couple nights ago. It was delicious! My one year old ate half of one squash by himself!

Absolutely wonderful! Even my VERY picky husband scarfed it down. This recipe is going in my Family Favorites cookbook!

I halved this recipe and it worded very well. I poked holes in the cavity so the maple/butter flavor could sink in. Very tasty and simple. I liked that I did not have to fuss over it.

The only thing I wouldn't do next time, is cut a slice off the bottom off the acorn to make them sit flat. It made the syrup run out all over your plate as soon as you dug in. These were superb.
