1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread an equal amount of butter (1/2 tbsp) inside each squash half. Sprinkle each with 1 tsp of the brown sugar.
2
Place the halves, cut sides up, in an ovenproof dish large enough to hold them upright. Pour in enough water to come about 1 in (2.5 cm) up the sides of the dish.
3
Bake for 15 minutes. Baste the melted butter and sugar mixture over the flesh, and continue baking for about 20 minutes more, until the squash are tender and glazed.
