Ingredients
- half the number of acorn squash as you’d like servings, cut in half and seeded
- Olive or avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons butter per squash
- 2 tablespoons brown or maple sugar per squash
- salt
- maple syrup
- 1 cup orange juice (or water, but orange juice gives it a great flavor!)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Rub the inside of the cut and seeded squashes with oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Pour 1 cup of orange juice (or water) into a baking pan. The juice should just cover the bottom of the pan. Place the squash, cut side down, into the baking pan.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until fork tender.
- Remove the tender squash from the oven and flip them over so that their cut sides are facing up in the baking pan. Rub 1 tablespoon of brown sugar over the flesh, then drizzle with maple syrup.
- Continue to cook for 5 – 10 minutes or until brown and bubbling.
