From Chow Bella
1 medium acorn squash, cut from the stem to the bottom, seeds scraped out
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp honey
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Place the squash cut-side up inside a baking dish such as a 13"x9" glass cake pan.
3. Divide the butter, honey, pecans, and spices evenly between the squash halves, placing all ingredients in the hollowed-out space.
4. Bake for 50 min-1 hr, our until a fork easily pierces the flesh of the squash. Remove the squash and drop the temperature to 350 degrees F.
5. Use a fork to mash the squash and seasonings together inside the squash shell. Be careful not to piece the squash shell. Use an oven mitt on your second hand to help hold the squash steady. Smooth the top of the mashed squash-seasoning mixture and place back in the oven and bake until lightly browned and caramelized, about 20-30 minutes. Serve immediately, scooping the mashed squash out of the squash shells to serve.
