If you want to impress your guests with an unusual side dish, bake acorn squash halves in the oven and serve one half per serving. It looks impressive and is quite simple to prepare with butter, salt, and black pepper. A sprig of thyme is all that's needed for garnish. The secret to the flavor of this squash is the caramelization of the flesh, so bake it at a high oven temperature.
