    Here's What You Need

    • 2 - 3 Butternut Squashes
    • ½ cup orange juice
    • ½ cup Butter melted
    • 1 cup light brown sugar
    • Kosher Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper

    Here's What You Do

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking dish by spreading a thin layer of butter all over the inside bottom and sides of the baking dish.
    • Peel the squash down to the bright orange pulp; clean the seeds out of the squash with a large spoon.
    • Cube the squash into about ½ inch squares and spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
    • Pour the melted butter over all of the squash cubes, then mix well with a spatula to coat all the cubes.
    • Pour the orange juice over all the cubes and mix well as before.
    • Crumble the brown sugar over the top of all the cubes; sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Place in the 400 degree oven and roast for 50 to 60 minutes until the squash cubes are tender when probed.
