Caramelized Butternut Squash with Brown Sugar (recipe from 50campfires.com)

Ingredients:

2 medium butternut squash (4-5 pounds total), chopped

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup light brown sugar, packed

1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Cut off and discard the ends of each butternut squash. Peel the squash, cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1 ¼-inch to 1 1/2-inch cubes and place them on a large greased piece of tin foil. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. 
  2. Bring in all sides of the tin foil and close, making sure there are no openings. Cook in the coals of the campfire 45-55 minutes, until the squash is tender and the glaze begins to caramelize. 

Note: this can also be cooked on a grill, checking periodically to see if squash is tender.
