Author Notes

I am not sure why, but acorn squash is not something I purchase often. During my weekly shopping I spotted them and already had a pint of pure maple syrup in my cart. Immediately I was inspired to make Maple Acorn Squash as a side with my roasted chicken dinner! We enjoyed every bite and there was none left over! Note to self: next time buy 2… —Cindy Anschutz

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 2 medium acorn squash (about 1 1/2 pounds each)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted organic butter, melted
Directions
  1. Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove and discard seeds and membrane. Cut each half widthwise into 1/2-in. slices; discard ends.
  2. Place slices in a large baking dish single layer. Season with salt. Combine syrup and butter; pour over squash.
  3. Bake covered with foil for 20 minutes then uncover for 10 minutes (if you are adding nuts add them now).

It seems like part of the recipe is missing here. Do you have additional steps after 2, for example: oven temperature and cooking time.
Thanks!
