Ingredients
  1. One acorn squash - as symmetrical as possible
  2. 2 pats of butter
  3. 2 TBsp Maple Syrup
Instructions
  1. Slice Acorn Squash in half around the middle
  2. Spoon center seeds and pulp into trash
  3. Mircowave (cut side down) for 6 - 8 mins. Squash should feel slightly soft to touch, but not mushy.
  4. Turn over on a baking pan, or into an oven proof dish if squash will not stand on baking pan
  5. Finish baking in a 350 degree oven for 10 mins; place 1 butter pat and one Tablespoon of syrup in the cavity of each half. Transfer carefully to serving plate.
Notes
  1. Eat with a spoon and try not to break the outer skin of the squash, otherwise you'll lose all the good stuff, butter and syrup.
