Ingredients

  • 2(1-pound)acorn squash, halved and seeded
  • 4teaspoonssalted butter, melted
  • 4teaspoonsbrown sugar
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • Directions

    Prick insides of the squash halves with a fork; brush with butter and sprinkle with brown sugar. Place squash halves, cut sides-up, into a large, microwave-safe dish.

    Microwave on high power until flesh pierces easily with a fork, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove from the microwave and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.



    Cook’s Note

    If the squash is very hard to cut before you cook it, prick it all over, then microwave it for a few minutes to soften a little.

    This can be lower in calories if you choose a low-calorie sweetener instead of sugar.
