Mouthwatering Baked Brown Sugar Cinnamon Acorn Squash.  A simple side dish your whole family will love.

Baked Brown Sugar Cinnamon Acorn Squash

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!
