Baked Acorn Squash With Spicy Maple Syrup

Serves 6

Ingredients

2 acorn squash, cut into thirds

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 pinch cinnamon

1 pinch nutmeg, freshly grated

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Split the squash into thirds and remove the seeds.

3. Cut a slice off the bottom of each piece so that it sits evenly, skin-side down, in a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish.

4. In the hollow of each piece, place 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Bake in the heated oven until fork tender, about 45 minutes.
