Butternut Squash Recipe

"Gebackener Butternusskürbis"

This baked Butternut Squash Recipe is one of my favorites. It's so easy to make, healthy, and economical. It tastes so good - kids love it.

To make squash easier to cut, just wash and dry it, and put it in microwave for about one minute. This will soften skin making it easier to cut. For easy cleanup, line baking sheet or roasting pan with foil.

For a different flavor, next time pour 1/2 cup of maple syrup over top instead of brown sugar. Want to try still another variation? Use apricot jam instead of brown sugar.

If you use 2-lb squash, you can serve 1/2 squash for each person. If you cook the larger 4-lb. squash, just scoop the cooked squash into a bowl and either serve as is or mash. Season with extra salt, pepper, and brown sugar if needed.
