acorn squash

1 for every 2 people

melted butter

salt

brown sugar orange juice

 

2 servings

 

The quantity in this recipe depends on how many people you are

serving. Select one acorn squash for every two people. I always like to

make a few extra, for people who want seconds or for leftovers the next day.

 

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.

 

2. Cut acorn squash in half, either across the midsection or

lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and stringy parts. Brush the cut surfaces

with melted butter and sprinkle with salt.

 

3. Arrange the squash in a baking pan, cut side down, and film the bottom

of the pan with 1/4-inch of water. Bake for 30 minutes.

 

4. Turn the squash over, brush insides with melted butter, and sprinkle

with brown sugar. Bake for 15 to 30 minutes longer, until tender, basting

occasionally with a tablespoon or two of orange juice.
