Baked Acorn Squash


I adapted a recipe from this website for an easy and delicious Fall side dish:
Baked Acorn Squash
1 Acorn squash
1 Tbsp Butter
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1 T Honey

Preheat oven to 400. Cut the acorn squash in half, lengthwise, from stem to end (It's easier if you zap it in the microwave on half power for a few minutes). Scoop out the seeds and stringy stuff in the center of each half. Score the insides of each half several times with a sharp knife. Place each half in a baking pan, cut side up. Add about a 1/4 inch of water to the bottom of the baking pan so that the skins don't burn and the squash doesn't get dried out. Coat the inside of each half with 1/2 a Tbsp of butter. Add a Tbsp of brown sugar to the cavity of each half. Drizzle the honey on each half. Bake in the oven for about one hour, until the squash is very soft and the tops are browned.
