Oozing with sugary fruit and nuts, this vitamin-packed squash is a fun alternative to the usual green vegetable. Ingredients:
2 acorn squash (about 1 pound each) |
4 teaspoons light butter |
1 1/2 teaspoons light brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon curry powder |
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
2 tablespoons golden raisins |
2 tablespoons dried cranberries (such as craisins) |
2 tablespoons chopped pistachios |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Cut a small slice from both ends of squash so halves sit upright. Cut squash in half crosswise; discard seeds and stringy pulp. Place squash halves, cut sides up, in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish. Place 1 teaspoon butter in center of each squash half. Combine brown sugar and remaining 8 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture evenly into center of each squash half.
3. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until squash is tender.
