[!!!]

one of my all time favourite fall recipes is for baked acorn squash with brown sugar

it is buttery + warm + utterly delightful

[as well as being light on the pocketbook!]

so prepare for a delectable evening of tasty goodness!

ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter, plus more for surface

2 medium acorn squash, (about 1 1/2 pounds each)

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons honey

Coarse salt and ground pepper

directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Generously butter a rimmed baking sheet.

2. Halve squash crosswise. Scoop out seeds; discard. Slice a small piece off bottom of each squash half just enough to level.

3. Set squash halves, scooped sides down, on prepared sheet. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn squash; prick insides all over with a fork. Divide 2 tablespoons butter, honey and sugar among halves; season with salt and pepper. Continue to bake until flesh is easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

this is a fun + easy recipe you can play with

------------>try adding some cinnamon or cayenne pepper to spice things up!
