How To Make succulent roasted acorn squash

Step 1

Slice your squash evenly in half. Cut the bottom of reach half ( the skin ) so it will sit upright on your baking sheet.

Step 2

Remove the seeds.
Step 3

Preheat oven to 450 degree F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the seeded squash on baking sheet. In the center of each squash halve, add 1 tablespoon of butter, 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
Step 4

Place in oven and bake for at least 1 hour or until fork tender. During baking, occasionally baste the rim of squash. Serve with more butter, salt & pepper or even more brown sugar. Delicious!
