I made this today (3/10/2023). Discovered I had no brown sugar so drizzled maple syrup over the butter. I put foil over the baking pan and baked for 30-40 minutes and the squash was tender.
I poke holes in the squash (on the inside) then put them cut side down in a pan with some water in it – steam/cook in oven for 30 minutes – then drain water flip those babies over and THEN put in the butter and brown sugar and back into the oven for 20 or so minutes (cut side up)
Simple, straightforward, and delicious. Just like mom used to make!
Very easy to make and I don’t like any kind of squash but I ate it for the first time. Thank you.
I have always enjoyed this dish. Helpful hint: Cut the Acorn Squash in half and steam for 35 minutes then bake for 20 minutes with all the fixings. I like to add a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to go along with the butter and brown sugar. Enjoy!
My mom made these when I was a child…so sweet and yummy. I found that the baking time was double than in the recipe. Great midwestern side dish.
Easy peasy. Serve with toasted pecans.
I grew up eating squash this way and continue to do so. It is such a comfort food for me. Yes, it’s sweet but it’s such a good balance when mixed in with the squash to eat it.
I love acorn squash prepared with butter and brown sugar. My biggest challenge with this particular recipe is that the squash wasn’t tender enough for my taste after only 30 minutes. I added an additional 30 minutes of cooking time and it was delicious.
A dessert in my book! I was unable to slice it, so I just ate it with a spoon! Yummy!
