Ingredients

2 acorn squash, halved and seeded
0.25 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
2 tablespoons butter
4 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
0.13 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Pour about 1/2 inch of water into a baking dish. Place the acorn squash halves cut-side down in the dish. Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven.
In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, melted butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon until well combined.
Turn the baked squash halves so they are cut-side up. Drizzle the orange juice sauce evenly over each half. Continue baking until the squash is tender, approximately 20 minutes longer.
