Acorn Squash

Course: Vegetables

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Large pinch nutmeg
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

  • With a very sharp knife, cut squash crosswise or lengthwise and clean out seeds with a spoon.
  • To make them sit nicely on a plate, cut a little piece off the bottom of each.
  • Melt about 2 tablespoons butter, and drizzle over both halves, followed by brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
  • Microwave on high for 10 – 12 minutes, then let the squash sit for about 3 minutes before removing from microwave. Vegetables still cook during this sitting time.
  • Grab a spoon and dig in!
  • *note- the amounts are a rough guide only, season to personal preference.
