Acorn Squash with a Maple Glaze

Serves 4

• 2 acorn squash, cut in half and seeded,
• 2 tbsp. pure maple syrup
• 1/2 – 3/4 tsp. grated ginger

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Place the acorn squash cut side down and bake for 40 minutes.  Turn over, sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and pepper.

Place the maple syrup and ginger in the microwave for 10 seconds and brush over the fleshy surface of the squash. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes.

Serve this with a lovely stuffed pork chop or a fish like salmon.  Add  a salad of your choice and you have prepared a great dinner.  Damn YOU can do this!
