Honey Cinnamon Acorn Squash

Prep Time: 10min
Cook Time: 60min
Serves 2

Ingredients:
1 acorn squash
4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter, softened 
Pumpkin Pie Spice or Cinnamon will do

Instructions:
Cut squash in half so that the halves are identical. Scoop the seeds and stringy stuff out of the squash cavities and discard. In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, butter, and spices to taste. Rub the squash cavities and cut sides of the squash with the butter mixture and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake in the preheated oven at 400F for about 1 hour until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork. Serve 1 half per person. You can either serve in the skin of the squash by placing it in a bowl or you can scoop the squash out, mix it with a fork and then add more spice to the top! It's a family favorite in the Fall season and Luke (our 10 month old) loved it as well. Enjoy!

  1. We make this all year round--I only use a drizzle of honey and 1 tsp of butter per half, however! Richard likes his with a tsp of chopped walnuts in the center:)
