Ingredients
- 2 acorn squash
- 4 T butter (Smart Balance!!)
- 4 T brown sugar (light or dark)
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups water
- aluminum foil lined 9x13in baking dish
Preparation
Step 1
*Preheat your oven to 400.
*Wash your squash with soap and hot water, even if you found organic, and dry them fully. Then cut them in half from the stem down. Be careful--they can be slippery.
*Use a spoon to remove the guts.
*Place the halves in your pan cut-side up.
*Use a fork to score the insides of each squash then smear 1T of butter on each half.
Now drop 1T of brown sugar into each half, no need to spread it around.
*Then sprinkle with Kosher salt--just a pinch per half.
*The last step is to carefully add 2 cups of water to your pan. Don't get any water inside your squash.
*Bake for 40-50 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
*You will want to serve these right away. I put them in a bowl and the use a fork to scrape down the sides
until all the flesh is removed from the skins and is mixed up with the delicious butter and brown sugar.
