Baked Winter Squash — A Delicious Harvest Treat
Sweet, tender, and wonderfully comforting, baked winter squash is the perfect taste of the harvest season. Roasted until golden and caramelized, the squash develops rich, naturally sweet flavors with a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture. A simple sprinkle of cinnamon and a touch of maple syrup make this cozy dish a delicious addition to any autumn or winter table.
2 small butternut squash (about 1 lb. each)
1/4 cup butter
4 teaspoons honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Cut squash in half lenghwise; remove and discard seeds. Place squash, skin sides down, in a 13×9 inch baking dish. Place 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon honey in the cavity of each squash half; sprinkle squash evenly with salt and pepper. Add water to baking dish to a depth of 1/4 inch.
Bake, covered at 400 for 30 minutes; uncover and bake 15 more minutes or until squash is tender.
Note: This cooking method works well for all types of winter squash. Adding water to the baking dish prevents the bottom of the squash from burning. Substitute maple syrup for the honey, if desired.
This is a Southern Living recipe and my favorite way to bake squash.
