2 acorn squash
Pecan Streusel:
Cut each squash into quarters; scoop out seeds. Lightly brush all sides with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place, cut side down, on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; pour in 1/3 cup water. Cover with foil; bake in 375°F (190°C) oven until tender, about 40 minutes.
Pecan Streusel:
Turn squash cut side up; spoon streusel into cavities. Cover with foil and bake until flesh is very tender and streusel is bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes.
If you make-ahead: Let cool. Refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Reheat in 325°F/160°C oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
