Sweet and Yummy Mashed Acorn Squash

If you’re having trouble trying to find something to do with the acorn squash in your refrigerator, this sweet side is perfect for kids and for adults too! If you would like some more cinnamon or brown sugar, feel free to add some more.

Prep Time:
10 mins
Cook Time:
60 mins
Total Time:
1 hr 10 mins
Yield:
4 servings
Servings:
4

Ingredients

  • 2 acorn squash, halved and seeded
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 pinch brown sugar

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place acorn squash, cut-side down, on a baking sheet.

Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Flip squash and sprinkle cinnamon into the center and dot with butter. Continue baking until flesh can be easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes more.

Step 3
Scoop flesh into a bowl and mix in brown sugar until evenly combined.

Cook’s Note:

If you would like something more savory, instead of cinnamon and brown sugar, other spices work well to, such as nutmeg or garlic. Whatever fits your taste!
