Roasted Acorn Squash

My Roasted Acorn Squash is a super simple recipe that is easy enough for a weeknight dinner, but delicious enough to be a holiday side dish.
Author: Lisa Longley

Ingredients

  • 2 acorn squash
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Very carefully cut the acorn squash in half. Read my tips here. Scoop out the seeds and pulp from the centers.
  • Place the acorn squash cut side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer pierces the skin of the squash and goes through smoothly.
  • Remove the squash from the oven. Add the butter and brown sugar (1/2 tablespoon of each) to the center of each squash, allowing them to melt and combine from the heat of the squash. Serve and enjoy!
