  • =

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 325°.

2

Peel the squash, cut it in half and seed it.

3

Turn the cut sides down, and slice into 3/8 inch slices, lengthwise (like a cantaloupe).

4

Arrange with the sides down on an oven tray, or baking dish lined with parchment paper.

5

Mix the butter, bacon, rosemary and maple syrup together with a fork in a bowl until well blended.

6

Room temperature butter makes this a lot easier.

7

Salt and pepper to taste.

8

Dollop the butter mixture over the squash, it doesn't have to cover all pieces, it will melt.

9

Put it into the oven, uncovered and bake for about 40 minutes or until squash is cooked, and a bit caramelized on top.

10

At about 20 minutes, turn the squash over and spoon the melted butter all over.
