A delightful and quick way to prepare acorn squash with a sweet and savory glaze.
Cut the acorn squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds using a spoon.
Cutting the squash lengthwise ensures even cooking and easy serving.
Place the squash halves cut side down in a microwave-safe dish and cover.
Covering the dish helps steam the squash for a tender texture.
Microwave on high for 10 minutes or until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork.
Check the squash halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Turn the squash halves cut side up and add honey and butter to the centers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Mix the honey and butter together before adding for a more even glaze.
Microwave uncovered on high for 2 minutes to melt the glaze and heat through.
Ensure the glaze is bubbling slightly for a caramelized flavor.
Serve the squash warm, drizzling any remaining glaze from the dish over the top.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley for added color.
