How to bake a whole butternut squash?

To bake a whole butternut squash, preheat the oven to 400F. Wash the squash, poke holes in it with a fork, and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork. Let it cool, then cut it open, scoop out the seeds, and enjoy the cooked squash as desired.
