1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. 2

   Slice squashes in half, lengthwise.

3. 3

4. 4

   Scoop out the seeds.

5. 5

   Brush inside of squash with melted butter or olive oil.

6. 6

   Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes.

7. 7

   Flip squash over with tongs or a spatula and place 1/2 tbsp of butter and about 1 tbsp of roughly chopped pecans into the cavity of each squash half and sprinkle with sea salt. Reduce oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 15-25 minutes.

8. 8

   When squash is tender enough to easily fall away when scraped with a fork, remove from oven, drizzle a bit of maple syrup into each half (optional), and enjoy it's heavenly goodness.
