Winter Squash Baked With Maple Syrup image

This is a very simple, tried and true recipe from Fannie Farmer, with very minor changes. You must use PURE maple syrup for this to come out right. Butternut Squash can be prepared this way as well. Oh, I forgot to add, it is delicious!

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 vegetable servings, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 acorn squash
1 pinch salt, to taste per side
fresh ground pepper, just two twists per side
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

  • Bake for 50 minutes or until the squash is easily pierced with a fork.
  • Turn the squash cut side up and poke the cut side several times with a fork.
  • Spread 1 tbs of butter and drizzle 1/2 tbs of maple syrup onto each half.
  • Return to the oven and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

I've never made winter squash before, but this recipe made it easy. The squash was delicious and the maple syrup glaze was the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The squash was undercooked and the maple syrup glaze burned. I had to throw the whole thing away. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I didn't like this recipe. The squash was tough and the maple syrup glaze was too thick. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was just okay. The squash was a bit bland and the maple syrup glaze was too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This was a good recipe. The squash was cooked perfectly and the maple syrup glaze was delicious. I would have liked it a bit more flavorful, so I might add some additional spices next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover winter squash. I usually have some leftover after I make soup or stew. This is a great way to use it up and it's a delicious side dish.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The squash is always cooked perfectly and the maple syrup glaze is delicious. I like to serve it with roasted chicken or pork.

This is my go-to recipe for winter squash. It's so simple, but it always turns out perfectly. I love the way the maple syrup caramelizes on the squash. It's the perfect side dish for any fall or winter meal.

I love this recipe! The squash is always so tender and flavorful. I like to add a bit of chopped bacon to the dish for extra flavor. My guests always rave about it.

I'm not usually a fan of winter squash, but this recipe changed my mind. The maple syrup and spices really brought out the natural sweetness of the squash, and the roasted nuts added a nice crunchy texture. Definitely a keeper!
