Ingredients
1 Acorn Squash- 1 Tbsp. organic unsalted Butter, at room temperature
- ½ Tsp. Cinnamon
1 Acorn SquashNote: Acorn squash is very versatile-you could use coconut oil with sea salt and black pepper or even get creative and do stuffed acorn squash!
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add a little water to a rimmed baking sheet or glass dish.
- Very carefully, cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon (you can bake these later if you want!).
- Place the squash face down on the baking sheet or glass dish and bake for 30 minutes.
- Pull squash from the oven, turn over and spread butter on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Bake for another 10 minutes and serve as is. Enjoy!
