Roasted Butternut Squash

Rachel Ray's slightly tweaked recipe:

Ingredients:

3 medium butternut squash, cut in half, then slice lengthwise, seeds removed
6 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces and softened
1/2 cup maple syrup
dark brown sugar
freshly grated nutmeg
cinnamon powder
freshly ground pepper

Preheat the oven to 400'F. Place butternut squash on a large baking sheet with the cut side up. Divide the butter pieces among all 12 pieces, smearing it all over the cut side of the squash. Drizzle each piece with maple syrup and season with freshly grated nutmeg, ground pepper, sprinkle of brown sugar, and dash of cinnamon powder.

Roast the squash for 40-60 minutes, or until the flesh is tender when poked with a fork.
