Time 1h40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 acorn squash, about 1/2 pound
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, very soft
2 -3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 -3 tablespoons honey
kosher salt, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Use a large knife to cut stem off squash and then to cut it in half vertically. Use a spoon to scrape out seeds and any stringy stuff from inside the squash. Set squash on a baking pan, cavity side up. If it wobbles too much, slice a piece off the backside so squash will lie still and flat.
  • Combine butter, mustard and honey and place into cavity of squash. Top with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper.
  • Bake until squash is very tender, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
  • For a variation on sweetness, use 2 tablespoons of real maple syrup instead of honey.
