Step 2: Preheat oven to 425º F. Place butternut squash onto parchment paper or foil lined baking sheet. Using a basting brush apply the olive oil to the butternut squash halves. Equally apply the maple syrup (I used a sugar-free syrup) and cinnamon to both halves. Bake for 55 minutes or until a fork can pierce the flesh easily. Enjoy!

*Caution-butternut squash will be hot when removing from the oven.
