Roasted Acorn Squash

• Acorn Squash
• Butter to taste
• Sugar to taste

Heat the oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle. 
Meanwhile, cut the squash in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Cut a small slice off the rounded side of each half to stabilize the halves so they sit upright. Place the halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. Using your fingers, coat the flesh of each half with 1 piece of the butter, then season generously with salt and pepper. Divide the sugar and remaining butter pieces among the squash cavities. Roast until fork tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
