Recipe Introduction


Acorn squash makes a sweet substitute for potatoes in this easy mash. Use a serrated grapefruit spoon to get all the seeds and stringy fibers out of the inside of the squash.





List of 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
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
   
2. Place squash halves cut-side down in the prepared pan. Bake until soft, about 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
   
3. 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.
