Saw this recipe on tv one day & decided to try it and it was YUMMY!!!!
I made changes in blue.
Caramelized Butternut Squash
2 medium butternut squash (4 to 5 pounds total) (I bought mine pre cut - check your grocery store)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (Used a touch of olive oil instead)
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed (Used the Splenda kind of brown sugar)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut off and discard the ends of each butternut squash. Peel the squash, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. With clean hands, toss all the ingredients together and spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, until the squash is tender and the glaze begins to caramelize. While roasting, turn the squash a few times with a spatula, to be sure it browns evenly. Taste for seasonings and serve hot.
