Butternut squash

I am not sure why I am posting this since I did very little to it. It is a veggie that I have grown to love.

Ingredients:

butternut squash
little salt and pepper
3 or so Tbsp. brown sugar

Directions:

Peel the squash with a vegetable peeler and dice into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to distribute seasoning. Spread out diced pieces onto a cookie sheet. (I use a silpat on my cookie sheet so the squash doesn't stick during baking). Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes (or until squash becomes tender - time differs depending on how big you made the pieces). Sprinkle with brown sugar and toss, allowing it to melt into the squash.

    This reminds me of a recipe my mom found last year for butternut squash that is delicious. I will find it and post it. What a great fall recipe. Thanks for sharing.

    WE LOVE Butternut Squash. We tried to grow it this year but didn't get any. Sad. I have never tried it with brown sugar on it, just salt, pepper and butter. We had some last night, but next time I will dice it like you did and use brown sugar. Thanks!

    We had this tonight with Leslie's yummy eggplant. I omitted the pepper and didn't add the brown sugar until the last five minutes of baking. It was very tasty.
