Mashed Maple Squash

 

1 1/4 pounds of acorn, butternut or banana squash, halved and seeded

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon butter

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Place squash halves cut-side down in the prepared pan. Bake until soft, about 50

minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Scrape the soft squash flesh into a medium bowl. Stir in syrup, butter, cinnamon

and salt with a fork, mashing the squash until somewhat smooth. Serves 2.
