Coconut Acorn Squash

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
Save yourself some time in the kitchen and toss the squash in the microwave for a quick dish. Sometimes squash can be a bit tasteless, so I conquer this by adding a bit of mango chutney and coconut. —Dierdre Cox, Kansas City, Missouri

Ingredients

  • 2 small acorn squash
  • 1/4 cup mango chutney
  • 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
