BUTTERNUT SQUASH OVEN BAKED

 BUTTERNUT SQUASH OVEN BAKED

• brown sugar, 1 T
• butter, 2 T
• butternut squash,1 
• ginger and nutmeg, ground
• salt and pepper

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Slice squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds
3. Place cut side up on cookie sheet
4. Melt butter and brown sugar together
5. Spread in squash cavities 
6.  Sprinkle with ginger and nutmeg 
7. Bake 40 minutes  

I separate the seeds from the pulp, bake them the last 5 minutes on a cookie sheet and throw them outside for the birds.If you have leftover squash, you can blend it and make soup by adding water and chicken bouillon to the blended squash.
