Ingredients

  • 1 acorn squash

  • pepper about ⅙ to ¼ teaspoon

Instructions

  • Wash the outside of the squash.
  • Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds and stringy stuff in the center.
  • Cut each half of the squash in half lengthwise (so now you have 4 pieces).
  • Place the squash on a baking pan with the flesh side (inside) up.
  • Add about ¼ cup of water to the bottom of the pan.
  • Put one tablespoon of butter, ⅛ teaspoon salt and a little pepper in the center of each piece of squash.
  • Bake in a 350F degree oven for about 45 minutes or an hour until the squash is tender.
