Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the squash in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with brown sugar, salt, pepper and toss well. Place the squash on a foil-cover sheet pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray and arrange in a single layer.
Roast for 30 - 40 minutes, until the squash is tender and begins to brown. Turn once during cooking with a spatula.

Sprinkle the fried sage over the roasted squash and serve.
Notes
You can use fresh butternut squash if you feel like wrestling with it.They are difficult to peel and cut.The frozen variety works quite well.
