Music Selection: Rihanna & Calvin Harris – This is What You Came For

Ingredients:

2 acorn squash

¼ cup olive oil

Salt

Butter

Toppings: chilli powder, butter/brown sugar, butter and cooked peas

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Line a cookie sheet with  foil or parchment paper.

Cut the acorn squash in halves. Scoop out seeds.

Brush the insides of the acorn squash generously with the oil. Lightly salt.

Flip insides of acorn squash down on to the pan. Bake in oven for 20 – 25 minutes, depending on how soft you like the squash.

Remove from oven and invert. Cut into ¼ or 1/3s.

Top with a little butter and brown sugar or instead sprinkle a little chilli powder on top. You can also add a little butter and lightly cooked peas to add even more color. This goes well with BBQ salmon!
