Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings 2 acorn squash, halved and seeded 1 pinch ground cinnamon ¼ cup butter 2 teaspoons salt 1 pinch brown sugar Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place acorn squash, cut-side down, on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Flip squash and sprinkle cinnamon into the center and dot with butter. Continue baking until flesh can be easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes more. Scoop flesh into a bowl and mix in brown sugar until evenly combined. Cook’s Note If you would like something more savory, instead of cinnamon and brown sugar, other spices work well too, such as nutmeg or garlic. Use whatever suits your taste!
