Maple Chili Acorn Squash

I wanted to make a vegetable side to go with my meatloaf. Since squash are still in season, and so delicious, I picked up an acorn squash. I love sweet and spicy, so I combined a few of my favorites to add a sweet punch to the squash.

Maple Chili Acorn Squash

1 acorn squash, halved, seeded

1 tbsp. butter

1 tbsp. brown sugar

1 tbsp. pure Maple Syrup

1/4 tsp. Mexican dark chili powder

Place squash cut side up in a baking dish. Fill with 1 cm. of water. Place half the butter in the bottom of each squash cup, drizzle in syrup, then sprinkle with brown sugar and chili powder.

Roast for 60 minutes at 350.
