  • With a large spoon, scoop the seeds out of each half of the squash.
  • To each half, add one pat of butter, one teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, one tablespoon of brown sugar, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place upright on a greased cookie sheet and roast for about 1 hour or until tender when the flesh is poked with a fork. If the squash halves want to roll, make an aluminum foil "nest" for each squash half to sit in.
