Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, then grease a baking sheet.
Step 2
Peel the squash and cut in half lengthwise.
Step 3
Using a spoon scrape out all the seeds.
Step 4
Slice the squash into about 1-1/2-inch cubes (try to get all the cubes to the same size) place them into a medium bowl.
Step 5
Add the melted butter, brown sugar, salt and pepper; using clean hands toss to coat.
Step 6
Spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake for 45 minutes to 55 minutes, until the squash is tender and the glaze begins to caramelize (turning the squash a few times during baking and season with more salt and pepper if needed).
