Maple Acorn Squash is an amazingly simple side dish.
1 acorn squash
2 teaspoons butter
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Salt
pepper
nutmeg
Heat oven to 350°. Cut acorn squash in half; remove seeds and fibrous pulp.
Place squash cut side up on a lightly greased baking dish. Bake 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven, turn right side up and place 1 teaspoons of butter in the cavity of each squash and drizzle ½ tablespoon of maple syrup into each cavity and on the edges of the squash.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper as desired, and add a dash of nutmeg to each squash.
Place in the oven for 5-10 minutes to melt butter and meld flavors. Serve immediately.
