1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon margarine or butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Cut stem and blossom ends from squash. Cut squash crosswise into 4 or 5 equal slices. Discard seeds and membrane. Place water in 13X9-inch baking dish. Arrange squash in dish; cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes or until tender.
  3. Combine maple syrup, margarine and cinnamon in small bowl; mix well. Uncover squash; pour off water. Brush squash with syrup mixture, letting excess pool in center of squash rings.
  4. Return to oven; bake 10 minutes or until syrup mixture is bubbly.
