Easy Baked Acorn Squash

Ingredients

• 2 cup Acorn squashes
• 4 tbsp Maple syrup or honey

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 °F.
2. Cut acorn squash in half and scoop out seeds.
3. Fill a baking pan with about 1/2 inch of water.
4. Place the squash in the pan, flesh side up. If they are lopsided, slice the underside horizontally so the bottom sits flat on the pan.
5. Add 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (or ground pepper if you prefer a savory flavor) to each half and spread evenly across the flesh.
6. Bake for about 1 hour, or until flesh is tender.
7. Serve as a side with meat or another main dish.
