Baked Acorn Squash
1 Acorn Squash, halved
2 pats of butter
2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
Salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Scoop the seeds out of each half with a spoon
Add 1 pat of butter, 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of
brown sugar, salt and pepper to the hollow scoop of each half.
