For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular butter. A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg adds a warm spice note. If the brown sugar starts to burn before the squash is tender, tent the baking sheet with foil. Drizzle with a balsamic glaze for a sophisticated sweet-and-tangy finish. Garnish with chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture.
