- 2 large Acorn Squash
- 2 Tablespoons Avocado Oil (you can also use olive oil, coconut oil, or just about any type of cooking oil)
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ⅛ teaspoon Pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Using a sharp knife, cut your acorn squash in half and scrap out the seeds with a large spoon.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay your squash halves with the flesh side up. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then flip so the squash are flesh side down.
Bake in your preheated oven for 40-60 minutes, or until you are able to stick a fork or long toothpick into the flesh easily.
