Description

This is a recipe even veggie haters will love! People who like sweet potatoes also love it. It's a family favorite of mine.

Ingredients

1 acorn squash, halved and seeded
salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter, divided
4 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions

1. In a microwave safe casserole dish pour enough water to reach 1 1/2 inches in depth. Place the squash halves cut side down in the water, and pierce the skin with a fork a few times. Microwave on high for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.
2. Sprinkle each half with salt and pepper to taste. Place 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in each half.
3. Broil 5 minutes, or until butter is melted. Mix the melted butter and sugar into the flesh, and serve.
