  • 1-2 tbsp melted butter vegan
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut the butternut squash in half and scoop out the seeds and centre using a spoon. Cutting the squash on a kitchen towel can help prevent it from slipping. Always be extra careful when cutting a squash.
  • Brush the cut side of the squash with the melted vegan butter and sprinkle on salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the squash onto a baking sheet with parchment paper, cut side down.

Baking

  • Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.
  • At 25 mins, pull the squash out, flip it so the cut side is up and sprinkle on the brown sugar.
  • Place it back in the oven for another 10 minutes.
  • Serve, and enjoy!
