I make this every few weeks and it is delicious. I do not use the brown sugar and I half the amount of maple syrup. I add slivered almonds to mine after it is finished cooking and it adds a great touch!

I really like this dish; just served it at a dinner party last night, and have made it half dozen times this season. I recently discovered that if you let the squash sit for a time before serving, what is left of the maple syrup/butter mixture will soak into the squash. That makes it divine! (I put the halves in a casserole dish and warmed them at 250 before serving, then cut the halves in half; I find the smaller pieces more attractive.

This really is foolproof! I don't cook as a general rule, but after getting some squash from my dad's garden, I felt inspired... Delicious! I don't use the syrup, and take it out after about 40-45 minutes. Now I can't wait to try more "easy" recipes from this site!
