Maple-Glazed Acorn Squash

Continuing on the squash theme from the last post, my other foray into squash today used acorn squash...

Maple-Glazed Acorn Squash (2-4 servings)
1 medium acorn squash (~ 1.5 lbs.)
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 T. butter or margarine (melted)
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Cut squash in half and remove seeds. Place squash cut side down in a large baking dish and bake for 45 minutes.

3. While squash is baking, mix maple syrup, butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl.

4. Remove squash from oven and turn cut side up in the dish. Brush maple syrup mixture over cut side of squash and spoon remaining mixture into center of squash. Return to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until squash is soft.
