Honey Baked Squash

We loved the flavor of this squash. I left the skin on, but it would be good without it as well.

Honey-Baked Squash

Acorn squash has 3 different colors to their skin: orange, dark green, or tan. Press the acorn squash all around to make sure it doesn’t have any soft spots. This will help you pick a good-tasting one. Store the squash in an airy dry spot for up to 3 weeks. Do not refrigerate.

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 large acorn squash (about 1 ½ lbs), cut into quarters (remove seeds)
• 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp honey

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the squash skin side down in a baking dish.
• Sprinkle the squash with the cinnamon, salt, and pepper and drizzle with the honey.
• Bake uncovered for 50 to 60 minutes or until browned at the edges, and very tender when pierced with a fork.
