Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Cut butternut squash in half and clean out the seeds. In a sauce pan combine the butter and brown sugar on a medium heat until well combined.

Brush the butter and brown sugar mixture over the butternut squash and place flesh side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cook for 40 minutes or until squash is tender and slightly brown over top. (Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the butternut squash.)

*Grandma Luken’s Tip: Rather than using the butter and brown sugar replace with ¼-½ cup of maple syrup.
