Baked Acorn Squash

Baked Acorn Squash

1 acorn squash, cut in half, seeds removed
1/2 Tbsp butter, per half
dash of salt per half
1 Tbsp brown sugar per half
1 tsp maple syrup, per half

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place halved acorn squash in baking pan, cut side up. Score the inside of the squash with a knife. Add remaining ingredients to each half. Add 1/4 cup water to pan to prevent squash from drying out during cooking. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Squash is done when soft and browned. Try to avoid undercooking.
