Roasted Acorn Squash

This is a very yummy, simple way to eat squash, you can cook many various squashes this way. I'm using Acorn because they were on sale at the vegetable and looked fabulous. For me a half of a acorn squash is a serving. This squash is great and provides nutrients such as Vitamin A Vitamin C, Potassium, dietary fiber, manganese, folate, Vitamin B complex, omega 3 fatty acids, copper and tryptophan.

Heres what you'll need:

• 1 acorn squash
• 2 tbs butter, I'm using margarine due to my son's dairy intolerance
• 1/4 cup pack brown sugar
• 1tsp nutmeg
• 1tbs cinnamon
• 1 tsp kosher salt

Now lets get to makin' some aquash!

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
2. cut your squash in half and scrape out seeds and strings. It should look something like this.

1. Once you have it nice and clean, place them flesh side down in a shallow baking dish and put enough water to fill it 1/4 of an inch, like so.
   
2. Roast for 30 mins. until soft.

when squash is tender flip it over and coat the flesh with butter. Then mix the brown sugar, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon together.it should look like this.Broil in the oven on a low broil until sugar mixture is caramelized, and its done!
