How to Make Roasted Butternut Squash

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Halve the butternut squash lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp, and peel.
  3. Place the butternut squash halves cut-side up on a large baking sheet.
  4. Divide the softened butter evenly among the squash halves, spreading it over the cut surfaces.
  5. Drizzle each half with 1 teaspoon of maple syrup.
  6. Sprinkle each half with nutmeg, black pepper, and salt.
  7. Roast for 40-60 minutes, or until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork. (Start checking at 40 minutes).
  8. Serve each person a whole half, or scoop the roasted flesh into a serving bowl. Enjoy!
