- 1 acorn squash
- Enough olive oil to coat the inside and outside of the squash
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
- First, start by cutting the acorn squash in half.
- Then use a spoon and scoop out the seeds.
- Then coat the inside and outside with olive oil. Then sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon inside the cleaned squash
- Then add 1 cup of water to your Instant Pot (this brings the IP to pressure, without the water, it will not work)
- Place your squash into the IP and then place the lid back on, set it for manual high pressure for 15 minutes and the vent should be sealed.
- Let it naturally release.
- You can either serve it as is, or you can scoop it out and place the squash into the bowl.
- Enjoy!
