ACORN SQUASH BAKED IN BUTTER AND MAPLE SYRUP
We love acorn squash and this is a fantastic way to prepare it. Once baked, the acorn squash is tender and tastes similar to a sweet potato casserole. Dip bites of squash into the sweet and buttery sauce. Yum!

MAPLE-ROASTED ACORN SQUASH
When I was growing up, my mother served a lot of canned vegetables, but the one thing she always made from scratch was acorn squash, which she roasted with butter and maple syrup. When I revisited her old method, I found it was just as good as I remembered. The sweet squash filled with a big puddle of melted butter and sweet syrup is so irresistible!

- Cooks' Note
- Acorn squash is hard to cut. To halve a whole squash, plunge the blade of a large chef's knife into the side of the squash as far as it will go. Holding the handle of the knife, bang the squash (with the knife in it) on the board until the blade cuts all the way through.
