Description

Indulge in the perfect fall side dish with our Roasted Acorn Squash With Brown Sugar recipe. Learn how to caramelize squash to perfection!


Ingredients

  • 1 acorn squash
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
  • 60 ml (1/4 cup) loosely packed brown sugar


Instructions

  1. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the acorn squash in half, discarding the seeds and pulp. Coat the inner surface with vegetable oil and scatter the brown sugar over it. Place it on a baking tray.
  3. Bake in the oven until it becomes soft, approximately 30 minutes. Take it out, cut each half into three pieces, and enjoy.

Notes

  • Consider using olive oil instead of vegetable oil for a different flavor profile.
  • Enhance the flavor by adding a pinch of cinnamon and a sprinkle of salt to the brown sugar.
  • For added crunch, top the squash with chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts before baking.
