Ingredients
3
medium
acorn squash
4
tablespoons
avocado oil
Salt and Pepper
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F.
Slice the acorn squash lengthwise in half and remove the seeds.
Brush the acorn squash inside and out with about 2-3 tablespoons of avocado oil. You can also season with salt and pepper.
Place the acorn squash cut down on a baking sheet, pierce the backs with a fork about four times per squash
Bake the squash for about 40-50 minutes or until it's easily pierced with a fork.
Notes
Do not flip the squash while cooking, you want to ensure a soft and "steamed" acorn squash and flipping will dry it out and roast it.
