Caramelized Butternut Squash

Ingredients:

• 2 medium butternut squashes (about 2 kg)
• 6 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed firmly)
• 1.5 tsp coarse salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 205°C.
   
   Trim and discard the pumpkin ends. Peel the pumpkin, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Cut the flesh into 3-4 cm cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Add melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Using clean hands, mix the ingredients together and arrange them on the baking sheet in a single layer.
   
   Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the pumpkin is tender and the glaze begins to caramelize. Turn the pumpkin with a spatula several times during baking to ensure even browning.
   
   Taste for enough seasoning and serve hot.
