I love this recipe for Butternut Squash! It is easy to make, and delicious for a chilly Autumn night. I thought the small amount of brown sugar was perfect. It caramelized with the butter to form a lightly sweet” crust” and was so tasty with the fresh ground pepper! yum! This was wonderful! I actually doubled this recipe and roasted 2 squashes. I made extra so I could it use it for Butternut Squash soup.
Does anyone have a great recipe they would recommend?

If any of you live by a Carrabba's, they had a seasonal dish on their menu right now… Butternut/Pumpkin Ravioli.
I LOVED IT!
It's on the appetizer menu, but learned after dinner I could have ordered it as a meal too.
Highly recommend!
I love love squash! I am excited to try this. I have been meaning to post my fav way to make squash and even took a picture of it. Maybe I'll post it next week. In the mean time, I am trying it this way next. Thanks for the idea, Mel.
What a nice, simple way, to prepare butternut squash. It looks quite delish!
Good squash! But I'd line the pan with foil first, because the brown sugar burnt onto the pan and now its really hard to clean.
