1 butternut squash, 3 to 4 pounds
\n2 pinches Kosher salt
\n2 pinches black pepper
\n4 Tbsp salted butter, melted
\n1\/3 c honey
\n3\/4 tsp cinnamon
\n1\/4 tsp allspice<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/h3>\n

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Cut the butternut squash in half and remove seeds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Mix the melted butter with the honey, cinnamon, and allspice to make a sauce.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

9. Brush again with the sauce after it comes out. Reserve the rest of the sauce.<\/p>\n
