Place on an oiled baking sheet, cut side up.

Bake at 400°F until tender (about 30 - 45 minutes depending on size of squash).

Using a large spoon, scrape out the seeds and fibers (separate the seeds for roasting, if desired).

Sprinkle with salt and pepper. A tablespoon of butter may be rubbed onto each half (inside) to keep the squash moist.

If desired, sprinkle with brown sugar just before serving. Place under broiler for several minutes just until the sugar melts.

Makes 2-4 servings, depending upon size of squash.
