DIRECTIONS
- Heat oven to 375°F. Line large baking sheet with foil and coat with nonstick spray. Place squash in resealable plastic bag.
- Microwave 2 tablespoons butter, oil and maple syrup in small microwaveable bowl on HIGH 30 seconds or until butter is melted. Mix in 2 tablespoons sugar and ¼ teaspoon salt; pour over squash. Seal bag and shake to coat. Pour onto pan in even layer.
- Bake 30 minutes or until squash is tender. Adjust oven to broil. Broil 2-4 minutes or just until beginning to brown. (Watch carefully to prevent burning.)
- Meanwhile, combine all the Fisher® nuts in large dry skillet. Cook on medium-high heat 3-4 minutes or until toasted, stirring constantly. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt and cayenne pepper. Mix well until butter is melted and nuts are coated.
