Mmmm. This was delicious. I used stevia instead of brown sugar and halved the olive oil to cut calories and it still came out wonderful. I have a feeling this would taste even better with a dash or two of cinnamon. Thank you, will be trying this again.

Wow! this was wonderful. The flavours of honey, garlic and brown sugar meld wonderfully. Double foil your baking sheet and spray it. Bake until crisp on the edges.

This was so good! I used a whole medium squash, and half the other ingredients - with the exception of the garlic. I also used dark brown sugar vs plain. cooked for about 40 min at 350, sprinkled with a tsp or so more brown sugar and put it under the broiler for about 2 mins, to get the tops sweet and a bit hard in places. Good enough to be desert. A keeper!

Thank you for a wonderful recipe. I made it just as the recipe said and wouldn't change a thing.

I cubed a whole squash, used dried minced garlic, and Maple Syrup in place of honey. WOW ! This is so good, have e-mailed to four friends so far. Thanks for a great recipe.

oh just less brown sugar

I eliminate the garlic and sugar and add cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup for sweetness. I also use coconut oil instead of any other cooking oil. It makes a huge difference in taste, it brings out the swetness much better and my kids will not eat it with olive oil. <br/>But a side note, why half a large butternut squash? What do you do with the other half? :) I say make the whole thing, it reheats nicely for left overs or lunch. Or just use a small squash. <br/><br/>I have also added in a diced sweet potato and a diced apple to the squash mistuire, also awesome.

This was tasty and I'll definitely make it again. I also used maple syrup in place of honey, and instead of spraying the pan, I used parchment paper so cleanup was a breeze.
