This is great. I am not a sweet eater, but I wanted to change my eating habits. So I am on a low carb diet and this works.

Loved this! took longer than I expected for it to soften up but worth the wait

If you add some tamarind water and garlic, it becomes yummier. Very difficult to peel raw. Slice the raw peel, add salt, chili powder, garlic with the seeds, cover and cook till crispy. Eat with rice.

New Hampshire has lots of maple syrup, replace the brown sugar with maple syrup and a dot of butter, your guests will love it!

I poke holes in the top of the halves to let the brown sugar seep in. Then baste about half way through. So yummy and surprisingly filling!

Loved this recipe! You can cut the squash in to smaller pieces to speed up the cooking.

Try this, place the squash face down on a cookie sheet with about an inch or so of water on the sheet, bake it this way for the 1st 20 min. or so. After the 20 min, pour the water off and then complete the recipe the way it is suggested. This speeds up the softening process, the steamy water really helps. This also works great with acorn squash

This is an excellent recipe! If you would like to speed up the cooking even more, try cutting the squash into chunks, placing them into a deep-dish, and adding about a half cup of water along with all of your other desired ingredients.

I just bake butternut or acorn==scoop out the meat, mash with a small amount of Coffee-mate of any flavor-few calories

 Marion Bartlett (Ontario) says:
A variation is to "poke" a hole or 2 into the squash ,then microwave until soft. Slice open in half, butter, brown sugar, sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Serve in wedges, tastes great and looks good too. Works with butternut, acorn etc.
