For a pop of color and a spicy kick, sprinkle a few red pepper flakes over the top of the squashes before baking. PRO TIP: Maple syrup or honey can be used as well. Spread butter inside each cavity and sprinkle on brown sugar to taste.Cut each squash vertically and scoop out the seeds and membranes.This simple recipe is so easy to prep, and looks so elegant on the table. Butternut squash can be used in place of acorn squash in many recipes. Since they look like large acorns, they are easy to spot. Look for acorn squashes that are green to yellow-green on the outside, weigh between 1 and 2 pounds with a meaty, pale-yellow flesh, and a mild, nutty flavor.
