Ingredients

• 1 acorn squash (1 1/4 pounds), halved and seeded
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Place squash halves cut-side down in the prepared pan. Bake until soft, about 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Scrape the soft squash flesh into a medium bowl. Stir in syrup, butter, cinnamon and salt with a fork, mashing the squash until somewhat smooth.
