Ingredients
2 acorn squash, cut in half and scooped/seeded
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons maple syrup (or brown sugar or honey)
1/4 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped (optional)
Instructions
Place the squash halves on a baking sheet with the scooped holes facing up. Divide the butter and maple syrup evenly between the holes. This will create a sweet, buttery goodness that seeps into the squash as it bakes. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 40-50 minutes or until the squash is tender. Don’t forget to baste the insides with that lovely butter and syrup mixture a few times. Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted pecans on top and enjoy with a spoon!
