Baked Acorn Squash takes very little prep to make a very tasty healthy side dish.

• Acorn Squash
• Butter
• Maple Syrup
• Brown Sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat Oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cut squash in half – Remove seeds
3. Cut a flat area on the back side of each side so the squash can sit on cookie sheet without tilting over – do not cut all the way through the rind.
4. Score the inside of the squash creating about ½ squares – do not cut all the way to rind
5. Rub the inside and rim of each half with pad of butter – leaving remainder butter in the bottom of the squash

7. Add ~1 1/2 table spoons maple syrup to each half
8. Swirl the mixture around inside to coat the sides
