I am not a big fan of sweet, I usually put curry and butter in baked squash and sweet potatoes, but this time I went with a more complex sweetness by using an Indian spice mix called Garam Masala. McCormick brand makes their own version for the American market, that is what I have used in this recipe.

How Do I Make Baked Acorn Squash with a Sweet Spice Variation?

Here is how you make Baked Acorn Squash with a Sweet Spice Variation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees .First wash your squash by dipping it in a sink filled with clean water and dish soap; rinse in running water and pat dry with paper towel. Next, carefully slice your squash in half (be careful here--if you have a rubber mallet you might feel more comfortable tapping your chef knife into the squash as safety precaution). Scoop out the string and seeds with a spoon--I use a serrated grapefruit spoon and am not afraid to pull on the stringy stuff to get it out or even scrape the inside of the squash.Place your hollowed out squash in a glass baking dish, such as Pyrex or Anchor Hocking. Do not use a dish with a lid. Rub each half inside with a tsp of salted butter. Sprinkle half of the 1/4 tsp of garam masala inside each cavity. Next, add 1 TB maple syrup to each half of the acorn squash and top each with 1 TB of salted butter. Sprinkle a little ground cinnamon in over each TB butter. Carefully pour water in the glass baking dish, so about 1-2 inches is in the pan. This will prevent the squash skin from burning to the pan. Cook in heated oven for 1 to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Do NOT undercook, and the more you cook the squash the more it caramelizes and is sweet.Serving Size: Makes 2 servings.Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SUNNYCALIGIRL.
