Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Brown Sugar Roasted Acorn Squash.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C), setting the stage for a delicious dish.
Step 2
Next, take your acorn squash and carefully slice it in half, revealing its vibrant orange flesh.
Step 3
Don’t forget to scoop out the seeds and stringy insides—this is where the magic begins! Now, spread a generous layer of salted butter on the inside of each squash half, allowing it to melt into the warm flesh.
Step 4
For a touch of sweetness, sprinkle brown sugar over the butter, creating a delightful contrast that will caramelize beautifully as it roasts.
Step 5
Place the squash halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet, making sure they have enough space to breathe.
Step 6
Pop them into your preheated oven and let them roast for about 30 minutes, or until they’re tender enough to be pierced with a fork.
Step 7
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! Once they’re done, carefully remove the squash from the oven, slice each half into thirds, and serve them warm.
Step 8
Enjoy this comforting dish that’s perfect for any occasion!.
