Oven-baked glazed acorn squash

Ingredients:

• 1 acorn squash, cut in half
• 2 tbsp. l. brown sugar
• 2 tbsp softened butter
• 2 tbsp. maple syrup

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
2. Scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp from the pumpkin cavities and discard. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, butter, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper to taste. Rub the inside and cut sides of the pumpkin with the butter mixture and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet.
3. Bake in a preheated oven for about 1 hour, until the pumpkin is tender when pierced with a fork. Serve 1 half per serving.
