How To Make stuffed acorn squash
-
Step 1Preheat over to 375.
-
Step 2First, cut ends off of squash (so they'll sit level). Next cut each squash in half and scrape out seeds. Place squash open side up in 1 or 2 baking dish(es).
-
Step 3In a large bowl, combine walnuts, cranberries, brown sugar, orange juice, and drizzle honey over all. Toss together making sure everything is evenly coated.
-
Step 4Spoon mixture into hollow center of each squash, dividing evenly between all four. Top each half with 1 tablespoon butter.
-
Step 5Cover baking dish(es) loosely with foil and transfer to oven. Bake for 60-90 minutes, or until squash is fork tender. Remove from oven and serve right away.
