Ingredients: 2 medium honeynut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded; 4 teaspoons butter; ¼ teaspoon salt; ¼ teaspoon ground pepper; ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon; 4 teaspoons pure maple syrup

Honeynut squash looks just like mini butternut squash, but on the inside you'll find an even sweeter, deeper orange flesh. This winter squash has only been available at farmers' markets and in select grocery stores for a few years. If you see it, grab a few to try! This simple roasting method enhances the natural flavor of the squash with butter and spices.

I love honeynut squash and this is my favorite recipe to make with them. It’s so simple but so good. I like to switch it up and add cardamom. I’ve also made with olive oil instead of butter and that’s great too. I like to baste a little bit halfway through using the melted butter that’s pooled in the squash.

A warming and comforting recipe for the Thanksgiving table! Will definitely be serving this!

This recipe for honey nut squash can be summed up in one word: outstanding!
This is the first time my husband and I have ever eaten it and it definitely won’t be our last!  So easy to make and absolutely delicious!
