1 acorn squash
3 tbsp melted butter, divided
1/4 tsp salt

PREHEAT oven to 400F. Arrange baguette slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Toast in centre of oven until golden, about 8 min.
CUT an acorn squash into quarters, lengthwise. Save 2 pieces for another use.
CUT remaining 2 pieces crosswise into 24 slices. Toss with 1 tbsp melted butter and 1/4 tsp salt on a baking sheet. Season with fresh pepper. Roast at 400F until tender, 17 to 20 min.
