Acorn Squash Cups

Acorn Squash Cups

A fall treat!  Sweet and buttery.

Who doesn’t love the first squash of fall?

You can do this technique with any “winter” squash, but by far it tastes best with acorn.

This is roasted at a lower temp than most recipes since I tend to make this along with a roast pork, so I use the same oven temp as the meat.  But some instructions call for 400 degrees F for 30 minutes.  If you’re only baking the squash (without a roast or any other oven-y thing) you can do it either way, but most opt for less cook time.
