Ingredients

2 acorn squash, halved and seeded
1 pinch ground cinnamon
0.25 cup butter
2 teaspoons salt
1 pinch brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Place the acorn squash on a baking sheet with the cut-sides facing down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Flip the squash, sprinkle cinnamon into the centers, and dot with butter. Continue baking until the squash flesh is easily pierced with a fork, approximately 30 minutes more.
Scoop the cooked squash flesh into a large bowl. Stir in salt and brown sugar until everything is evenly combined.
