For a deeper flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, cooking until the milk solids turn golden brown and the butter has a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly before spreading on the squash.
A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg adds a warm, comforting touch to the dish.
Feel free to experiment with other types of squash, such as acorn or butternut, for a variation in flavor and texture.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.

    I used a buttercup squash instead of spaghetti squash and it was fantastic! Thanks for the simple recipe.

  • Arvel Denesik

    Next time, I might try adding a few chopped pecans for some crunch.

  • Luella Mueller

    I found that 40 minutes total baking time was perfect for my squash. Just keep an eye on it.

  • Gardner Veum

    My kids, who normally turn their noses up at squash, devoured this! The brown sugar made all the difference.

  • Javonte Okuneva

    The parchment paper made cleanup a breeze. Great tip!

  • Verner Roberts

    So easy and delicious! I added a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness.

  • Ernie Witting

    This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times already.
