How to cook deliciously - Cranberry-Pecan Microwave Acorn Squash
1. Stage
Pierce each squash in several places to allow steam to escape, then place 2 inches apart in the microwave. Microwave on high for 6 minutes. Remove to a cutting board.
2. Stage
Cut each squash in half crosswise; remove and discard seeds. Arrange halves with cut-sides down on a microwave-safe plate.
3. Stage
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave until tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove stems and cut a thin slice from the pointed ends to prevent tipping. Flip so cut-sides are facing up.
4. Stage
Mix graham cracker crumbs, pecans, butter, brown sugar, and nutmeg in a bowl. Spoon 1/4 of the mixture into each squash half.
5. Stage
Microwave, uncovered, until filling is heated through, 2 to 5 minutes.
6. Stage
Serve topped with cranberry sauce.
