2 acorn squash, halved and seeded
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c butter, diced
6 tbsp firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place squash in a shallow baking pan, cut-side down.
3. Bake in preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes.
4. Turn cut-side up; season with salt and pepper, dot with butter, and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
5. Return squash to oven and bake until squash is soft and lightly caramelized, about 20 minutes more. Serve warm, spooning melted butter-sugar mixture from the center over squash before serving.
