This is the perfect fall side dish, and the easiest way to cook acorn squash. Ever!
And did I mention how yummy it is? The combination of brown sugar with the natural sugars of the squash caramelize and create a melt in your mouth goodness.
Quick and simple, just the way I like my recipes!

Glazed Acorn Squash Recipe
Ingredients
2 acorn squash, seeded, halved, cut into wedges about 1 to 1.5 inches thick
1/2 cup packed dark {which I prefer} or light brown sugar
2 Tbl. olive oil
season with salt and pepper
Instructions
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat , and preheat oven to 400.
Mix the squash with olive oil to coat, then spread evenly on baking sheets. Sprinkle with half of the brown sugar, and salt and pepper.
Roast until sugar has melted, about 5 minutes. Turn over each piece. Sprinkle remaining sugar evenly over the squash, and another dash of salt and pepper.
Should be tender in about 20-25 minutes.
