Mouthwatering Baked Brown Sugar Cinnamon Acorn Squash. A simple side dish your whole family will love.
I love all kinds of squash. Yellow squash, zucchini squash, spaghetti squash, butternut squash, you name it. But for some reason I have never made acorn squash.
I knew it was going to be somewhat similar to making butternut or spaghetti squash. Slice it in half and scoop out the seeds and pulp and bake it.
My quest was to find an amazing flavor that would be a huge hit with my family. Brown sugar and cinnamon popped in my head. Who doesn’t love that! To keep it a little healthier I only used 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar and 1 Tablespoon of honey. Plus I used coconut oil instead of butter.
It is SO DELICIOUS!!
This would be the most perfect easy side dish for Thanksgiving!
INGREDIENTS
1 Acorn squash
1 Tablespoon of coconut oil, melted
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
Cut the squash in half across the center
Score around the seeds and pulp with a knife.
Scoop out the seeds and pulp out of the center of each half
In a small bowl, mix the coconut oil, cinnamon, brown sugar, and honey.
Divide the mixture between the 2 halves and brush/rub the mixture inside each half.
Place them on a baking sheet cut side up
Bake for 45 minutes – 1 hour until the center is tender. When you can stick a fork in it easily it is done.
ENJOY!!
