Mashed Butternut Squash

So Easy and Perfect for Fall.

1 butternut squash
2 tablespoons of butter
2 teaspoons brown sugar
Dash of salt

Heat oven to 350 °F.
Cut butternut squash in half (lengthwise) and scoop out the seeds.
Place 1 tablespoon of butter, sugar (I used coconut sugar), and a dash of salt in each cavity.
Bake for 1 hour 30 mins at 350 °F; you should be able to puncture it easily with a fork.
Scoop out cooked squash into a bowl, mash with a fork, add salt, sugar and, butter to taste.
