This squash recipe made for a perfect accompaniment to our grilled chicken tonight. I too used butternut squash because that’s what I had on hand. Because I was distracted, I brushed the squash with the butter/lemon mixture before broiling and realized when it was done, I also didn’t soak the dried cranberries (again, distracted). However, I don’t believe this impacted the taste in a negative way at all because it came out delicious! I cut the squash after it came out of the oven for easier serving and lightly sprinkled with brown sugar over the top. Great tasting squash, Breezer! Made it for FYC.

Wow I loved this recipe 5stars all the way. I couldn't find any delicata squash so I used butternut squash, it worked well, I just cooked it longer until it was nice and tender. Made as written but used pistachio seeds as I was out of pumpkin seed. Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe which has gone into my favorites cookbook for 2017. Kudos to you my dear.
