Baked Acorn Squash With Brown Sugar


Here's another fun easy side dish. Not quite the weather yet, but these are good. Click on the title for the picture and recipe.

Ingredients
Serves 4

2 tablespoons butter, plus more for surface
2 medium acorn squash, (about 1 1/2 pounds each)
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Generously butter a rimmed baking sheet.
Halve squash crosswise. Scoop out seeds; discard. Slice a small piece off bottom of each squash half just enough to level.
Set squash halves, scooped sides down, on prepared sheet. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn squash; prick insides all over with a fork. Divide 2 tablespoons butter and sugar among halves; season with salt and pepper. Continue to bake until flesh is easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.
