How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 325 degrees and bake the butternut squashes whole for 1 hour.

  • Step 2: Remove and let stand a bit if you do not want to get burned, then cut them in half.

  • Step 3: Remove the seeds, which can be eaten as is, since they are cooked and are a "chef's choice" treat in native kitchens

  • Step 4: Fill each cavity with 1 tbsp. each of the butter, honey and maple sugar. Then season each to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

  • Step 5: Return to oven and bake for a further 1 hour and 20 minutes, basting every 15 or 20 minutes are so.
