How to make the most delicious Roasted Butternut Squash
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
First carefully cut the squash in half lengthwise. Using a large spoon, scrape out the seeds.
Next brush the squash with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake at 375 degrees for 60 to 70 minutes. The length of time will depend on the size of the squash you are roasting. Most importantly, bake them until they are fork tender in the solid top section of the squash. The lower half where the seeds were removed will cook much more quickly. You want to keep them in the oven until the top section is very tender.
Serve as they are, or with butter and brown sugar.
