BASIC BAKED ACORN SQUASH

Ingredients:

1 Acorn Squash

Pumpkin Pie Spice

Butter

Salt and Pepper, optional

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Cut the squash in half (I use cutting gloves to protect my hands).  With a spoon, scoop out the seeds and “strings” until the inside of the squash is smooth.  Place in a baking dish with just a little water at the bottom.  Cover with foil.  Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour and a half, or until the squash is tender.  Remove from oven.  Cut in half again (so you have four pieces) and serve with butter and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.
