For a deeper flavor, try using maple syrup instead of brown sugar. Add a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon for a warmer spice profile. If the squash starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent the baking dish with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Leftover baked acorn squash can be pureed and added to soups or risottos.
