The squash was a bit dry. I think I would add a little more butter next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less brown sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of squash, but I loved this recipe. The squash was tender and flavorful, and the topping was perfectly crispy. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover acorn squash. I had some leftover from a soup I made and this was the perfect way to use it up. The squash was delicious and the topping was perfect.

This recipe was easy to follow and the squash turned out great. I used a little less brown sugar than the recipe called for and it was still plenty sweet. I will definitely be making this again.
