A touch of brown sugar and nutmeg brings out the natural sweetness in the squash and makes it a perfect accompaniment to any main dish. Ingredients:
2 large acorn squash (about 2 pounds each) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
vegetable cooking spray |
1/4 cup light butter, melted |
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Cut each acorn squash into quarters lengthwise; remove and discard seeds and membranes. Sprinkle squash evenly with salt and pepper. Place, cut sides down, on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
2. Bake at 400° for 45 minutes or until squash is tender.
3. Combine butter, brown sugar, and nutmeg. Turn squash, cut sides up, on baking sheet; sprinkle evenly with butter mixture. Bake 5 to 7 more minutes or until brown.
