Amazing Acorn Squash

Ingredients:

3 small halved and seeded acorn squash

3 Tbsp. butter

6 Tbsp. sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat baking dish with non-stick spray. Score the inside of each squash half several times with a sharp knife and then place in the baking dish, cut side up. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of brown sugar inside each half. Pour about 1 inch of water into the baking dish so the squash doesn't dry out or burn. Bake until the squash is very soft and the tops are browned, 55-65 minutes.

Yield: 6 squash halves
Serving Size: 1 squash half provides 1/4 cup vegetable for a 3-5 year old at lunch/supper.
