Parmesan Glazed Acorn Squash

Fall is creeping ever closer.  The hum of the air conditioners is quiet (for now).  You never can tell in Chicago.  It is time for some new fall recipes though.  I know Mom has been talking about trying different kinds of squash.  Here's one for you Mom.  You're probably going to have it at my house for Sunday supper this fall!

2 small acorn squash, halved and seeded
1 tbsp. butter, melted
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Cut each squash  piece in half; place cut sides up in a 13x9 inch baking dish.  Add 1/2 C. water to dish; cover.

Bake 40 minutes or until the squash is tender.

Mix butter, sugar, and oil; spoon over squash.  Top with cheese and cinnamon; bake, uncovered for 5 minutes.

You can also substitute nutmeg for the cinnamon.
