Roasted Acorn Squash with Butter & Brown Sugar

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice the acorn squash into half, and using a sturdy metal spoon, scrape out the seeds and stringy bits inside each squash half, until the inside is smooth. Add a tablespoon of butter on the inside of each half and sprinkle brown sugar over the butter. Place the squash halves cut side up in a roasting pan. Pour 1/4 inch of water over the bottom of the pan so that the squash doesn't burn or get dried out in the oven. Bake at 400°F for about 1 hour, until the tops of the squash halves are nicely browned and the squash flesh is very soft and cooked through. Serve immediately.
