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!

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.
