Number Of Ingredients 3

2 medium acorn squash, halved, and seeded
4 pats of butter
to taste salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 2. Place a pat of butter in each half
  • 3. Generously salt and pepper to taste
  • 4. Bake at 350° for 40 to 60 minutes

The squash was a little bland for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the squash cooked perfectly.
