I bought a butternut squash on a whim and then it sat on the kitchen counter for a while whilst I wondered what to do with it. I found this recipe and boy, I'm glad I did. I used sugar free maple syrup, but that's the only change I made and it wasn't a big one. I couldn't stay away from this stuff. I know I had at least three helpings. Thanks so very much for the post. Now I'm not afraid of squash any more. Great recipe!

This was okay, a little on the bland side, I suppose it would depend on your size of butternut squash also. I wished mine had been a little sweeter. Thanks for sharing!

We enjoyed this. I softened the squash first w/o the water and it didn't seem necessary.

This was easy and tasty. Both my husband and 17 month old enjoyed it - very quick to prepare. A good way to get my kid to eat a vegetable!

My first time making squash as a lone side dish and it was delicious. I had a small squash so I cut back on the syrup and butter. Passing this recipe on!

It's a very flavorful combination of squash and lemon. But it seems a bit too sweet from my point of view. Next time I'll add just a tablespoon of maple syrup. Oh, I added some salt to it and baked cubed squash instead. These were the only changes I've made.

This was a big hit at our Thanksgiving meal this year. Just sweet enough and the lemon, which I added right at the end, give it an interesting citrus twist. I used the squash I had on hand which ended up being a combination of 2/3 butternut and 1/3 kabocha.
