Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F.

  2. Peel the butternut squash thoroughly, then halve it lengthwise and remove the seeds and strings.

  3. Place each squash half cut-side down, using chopsticks as guides to make 1/8-inch hasselback slices without cutting all the way through.

  4. Arrange the sliced squash on a foil-lined baking sheet. Pat dry, brush with melted butter, separating cuts to coat between layers, and season with salt.

  5. Evenly press brown sugar over the squash and into the layers. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes.

  6. Brush any pan glaze over the baked squash. Garnish with walnuts and thinly sliced sage leaves, then serve.
