To start, pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the acorn squash in half and deseed Place face down on a baking sheet

You can use silpat mats, or put a small amount of water in the baking dish to lightly steam the squash Bake for 45 minutes or until skin bubbles and pulls away from the squash Insert a sharp knife into the squash to be sure it is tender all the way through

Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly Enjoy with butter and brown sugar for a nutty, sweet meal
