  • 2–3 tbsp brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional, for warmth)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.

Prepare squash: Peel squash, cut in half lengthwise, and scoop out seeds. Cut into 1-inch cubes (or slice into half-moons if you prefer).

Season: In a large bowl, toss squash with melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange on baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until squash is tender and caramelized.

Step 5

Finish: Serve warm as a sweet side dish or holiday favorite.
