💡 Cook's Notes
Light brown sugar can be substituted for the dark brown sugar, though the deeper flavor of dark brown sugar is preferred. Dark brown sugar provides more complexity and depth than plain white sugar for the glaze Salt and pepper enhance the squash without overwhelming it Melted butter adds nutty richness and helps bind the glaze 1-inch cubes provide optimal surface area for browning while cooking to full tenderness in reasonable time A splash of cider vinegar after roasting counters the sweetness and adds brightness
