Butternut squash is a tan-colored, elongated vegetable with a bulbous end and mildly sweet flavor. When selecting butternut squash, look for those that have hard, tough rinds and are heavy for their size.

While I have no doubt about the taste and enjoyment, I will say that the prep did not quite turn out as nice and neat as it appears. It may have been a factor of the particular squash I bought, but it did not all fit in one 13x9 pan. I had great difficulty trying to get the squash slices to lay in the dish evenly. I melted nearly 3T of butter, and it didn't seem like enough.
Again, no doubt when it comes out of the oven, it will be delicious and we will enjoy it. Maybe its just my kitchen skills, too.
