   4. Remove dish from the oven. Uncover it then put it back in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes (note: if there's a lot of liquid pooling in the middle of the squash, you can spoon some of it out before putting it in the oven for the last 10 minutes). Remove it from the oven and set dish on a rack. Then let it cool before serving. Just dig away with a spoon! It'll be very tender with hints of brown sugar and cinnamon throughout.
