Easy Baked SquashIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 acorn squash (you can find organic for sale price
2 tablespoons sesame or olive oil (whatever you have on hand)
4 teaspoons fresh cinnamon, non-irradiated
2 cups water
Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the acorn squash in halves (across the middle is best) to make two acorn cups. Scoop out all seeds (You can toast the seeds on a separate cookie sheet if you wish, with some olive oil, garlic and salt).
Place the halved acorn squash cut side up in a baking pan. Add 2 cups of water to the bottom of the baking pan.
Mix the 2 tablespoon sesame oil with the cinnamon, then pour that mixture in the acorn cup cavities.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for at least 30 minutes, check with a fork for tenderness. When the squash is tender, it is done.
You can then easily scoop the squash out of it's shell, or cut the skin into desired portions.
This is a delicious Fall treat...loaded with essential Vitamins C and A, Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium, too! Tastes good, great for you and inexpensive to make.
