Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Maple-Glazed Microwave Squash.
Step 1
Begin by placing the halved squash, cut-side facing up, on a microwave-safe dish.
Step 2
Generously spread butter into the hollow center of each squash half, allowing it to melt into the flesh.
Step 3
Next, drizzle 2 tablespoons of maple syrup into each half, infusing the squash with a sweet, rich flavor.
Step 4
To trap the steam and ensure even cooking, cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, making sure to leave a small vent for steam to escape.
Step 5
Microwave the squash on high for 10 to 15 minutes, checking for tenderness with a fork at the 10-minute mark.
Step 6
If it’s not quite fork-tender, continue microwaving in short intervals until perfectly cooked.
Step 7
Enjoy the delightful aroma as your squash transforms into a warm, comforting dish!.
