Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Slice Acorn squash in half.

Remove pulp, seeds, and various stringy bits from core.

Spread ingredients over squash.

Place squash in oven for an hour (Note: some people like to add water at the bottom of the sheet or casserole dish so the skin doesn't burn)

Eat and smile.

Another option is to carve out the squash and mash it after cooking versus eating it in the skin. Both versions are yummy.
