Instructions

Preheat oven to 400℉ (or 200℃).
Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
Using a sharp chefs knife, cut the squash in half from top to bottom. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and stringy fibers.
Optional: Save the seeds and roast in the oven or air-fryer.
Using a paring knife, make a crisscross hatch on the cut side of each squash half before brushing with olive oil and seasoning with salt.
Place cut-side down on a parchment lined, rimmed baking pan and roast on the middle rack of your preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Then carefully remove the pan from the oven. Use tongs to turn the squash so they are cut-side up. Season with freshly ground black pepper and add in 1/2 tablespoon of butter in each one.
Sprinkle with chopped pecans, chopped rosemary minced garlic overtop. Drizzle each one with pure maple syrup, making sure to get it into all the nooks and crannies.
Return the squash to the oven and continue roasting for another 10 to 15 minutes or until tender.
Transfer to a large platter and serve.
