How to Make Acorn Squash Microwave Baked
- Preheat your microwave.
- Cut one medium acorn squash in half lengthwise.
- Scoop out and discard seeds and stringy pulp. Rinse the squash halves well under cool water.
- Place the squash halves cut-side up in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon (14g) of butter and 1 tablespoon (12g) of granulated sugar to each squash half.
- Microwave on high for 10-12 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the flesh. Microwave ovens vary, so you may need to add 1-2 minutes for complete tenderness.
- Carefully remove the squash from the microwave (it will be very hot!). Let cool slightly before serving.
