I found these little treasures on Amazon Fresh and decided to give them a try. When I ordered them the description said "large" squash, so I just bought one. Oops they are little- about the size of an apple, so I had to wait for my next order to buy another one. I found this recipe online and followed it pretty close to the original. The butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and syrup definitely make these a treat, but a DELICIOUS one too. Here is my version:
Dumpling Squash
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
1/2 T butter
1 T Pure Maple Syrup
(The original recipes had measurements for the spices, but I just sprinkled it. The original recipe also had brown sugar, which I left out. It is already so sweet, this wasn't needed)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut squash in 1/2 and scrape out seeds.
Turn squash over and pierce skin with a fork a few times.
Turn it back over and fill each squash with ingredients above. Sprinkle cinnamon generously and use a pinch of nutmeg per squash.
Bake uncovered in oven for about 50 min. I cooked 4 squash and they took about an hour. The squash will be tender when it is finished cooking.
