Directions:
1. To cut the squash more easily, pierce it in several places with a paring knife. Place both squash on a piece of paper towel in a microwave and microwave at 100% power for 2 minutes. Rotate squash and repeat. Remove to a cutting board.
2. Cut off and discard the ends of each squash, then cut in halves crosswise and again lengthwise. Remove the seeds. Stand on a cut end and pare away the peel. Cut into ½-inch cubes and place into bowl. Add melted butter, brown sugar, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well and spread in a jellyroll pan. Roast in a preheated 400º oven for 20 minutes. Stir and continue roasting 5-10 minutes, or until tender.
3. If making ahead, transfer the squash into a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Cool, cover and refrigerate. About 1 hour before serving, remove from refrigerator. Then a few minutes before serving place under a hot broiler to heat lightly caramelize the top.
