Ingredients

1 medium winter squash, quartered

4 tablespoons butter, melted

2 tablespoons honey

salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat; add the honey and whisk together well; keep warm.

Quarter the squash and scoop out the seeds and strings in the center; place on a shallow baking pan. Sprinkle with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper, then baste with a little of the butter/honey mixture.

Roast for 45 minutes, basting with more of the butter/honey mixture every 15 minutes, oruntil the squash is golden brown and easily pierced with a fork.
