Peeling and cutting butternut squash will give you a workout, but it pays off in the end. This will burn easily in the oven, so make sure you keep an eye on it.
Serves 6
2 medium butternut squash
6-8 tbs unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 and 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp fresh ground pepper
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cut off the ends of each butternut squash and discard.
3. Peel the squash and cut in half lengthwise.
4. Using a spoon, remove the seeds.
5. Cut the squash into 1 and 1/2" cubes, and place them on a baking sheet.
6. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, salt and pepper.
7. Toss all of the ingredients together and spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
8. Roast for 45-55 minutes, until the squash is tender and the glaze begins to caramelize.
9. Turn the squash while roasting a few times with a spatula to be sure it browns evenly.
10. Serve hot and enjoy!
