I put mine in the crockpot whole on high for 2-3 hours, let it cool, slice it in half, scoop out the guts, sprinkle sea salt and cinnamon in it, add a scoop of coconut butter, and a handful of raisins. Yum. Crockpot method came from Susan and flavoring is from Practical Paleo.

Put squash in a slow cooker for 4 hours. The whole thing with no added water. After 4 hours, move it to the refrigerator to cool. Once cool, cut in half, scoop out seeds and discard. Scoop out the flesh and use it. I heat mine with salt, garlic powder, and other spices and serve with meat.

Heavens to Betsy you folks have WAY more patience than I do when it comes to cooking and eating!  I stab it a few times to pierce the skin.  Put it in the microwave about 5 minutes to soften the shell.  Pull it out with hotpads and cut it in half and scrape out the seeds.  Put it back in a glass microwave dish add butter (ok ghee if you are following the rules), add honey as a replacement for brown sugar (I think that is paleo ok).  Microwave with a cover over it (wax paper works).  It will be done in just a few minutes.  Eat!.. Haa.. much better.  Not fancy but fast.  You can leave off the butter and honey and flavor it some other acceptable way if you so desire.

I am going to run to the market to grab a couple squashes just to try this. I can always slow cook during the day and have it ready for dinner or breakfast the next day.

Just a reminder that honey is NOT OK on a W30. I do believe that the moderators have asked that only W30 recipes be posted in this section.

There is a sweet potato chili recipe that I can't remember where it came from, but I love it so much it's linked from my website:

It basically has you make a killer sweet potato chili and uses acorn squash halves as the bowls.
