Special Notes

This roasted koginut squash is perfect for fall. The combination of brown sugar and spices creates sweet, warm flavor. The key is to roast the squash until it's tender but not mushy. This dish is perfect for Thanksgiving and can be made ahead of time. For extra flavor, you can add different herbs or spices. The squash should be served hot for the best taste.
