If the squash are large, they might be a little to big for one person. Preheat the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Bake the acorn squash Bake the squash in a 350 degrees F preheated oven for about 30 minutes. I wanted to begin cooking Thanksgiving food early this year so you’d have plenty of time to read, examine, and even practice dishes beforehand, if you’re into that sort of thing.
