Acorn Squash Tip
Microwaving Acorn Squash

Halve lengthwise. Remove the seeds and fibers using a tablespoon. Place the seeded halves side by side in a dish just large enough to hold them, cover tightly, and microwave for 7 to 10 minutes. Alternately, cut into 1-inch chunks, arrange in single layer in dish, cover tightly and microwave for 5 minutes. Spin the dish half way through or stir to cook evenly.
