Acorn squash is simply prepared with butter, salt and pepper but the caramelization from being roasted is the secret ingredient.

This recipe was easy to follow and the squash turned out great. I would recommend using a little less brown sugar next time, as it was a bit too sweet for my taste. Overall, a good recipe.

I'm not usually a fan of acorn squash, but this recipe changed my mind. The squash was so delicious and the glaze was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

This roasted acorn squash recipe was a hit with my family! The squash was perfectly tender and flavorful, and the maple-brown sugar glaze was the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this again.
