Cut them in half from top to bottom and scoop out the seeds.  Sprinkle them with light brown sugar, and butter (cinnamon if you want) and bake at 350 until tender (about 40 minutes)

Delicious!

ETA: I've always been told that acorn squash is very similar to butternut, which is why I've included the first recipe. These were all recommended to me on the What's Cooking? board on the Nest when I asked this same question.
