Sweet and Spicy Squash
serves one

1 acorn squash
2 teaspoons olive oil, or to taste
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger

Preheat the oven to 375�F. Cut the acorn squash in half and scoop out the strings and seeds. Place in a small pie pan or baking dish. Rub one half with the olive oil, coating the cavity well. Then rub in the curry and chili powders, and some salt and pepper. Rub softened butter in the other half and sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon and ginger.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the squash comes up easily when scraped gently with a fork. Let cool for a few minutes, then eat straight from the rind, mashing it up with a spoon.
