    3. Place scooped side down on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 40 minuets or until you can feel the squash begin to get tender.
    4. Take out of the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minuets or until you can touch it without it burning your hand.
    5. Thinly slice the squash in rows without slicing all the way down to the bottom. (Hence the hasselback.)
    6. Pour over melted coconut oil. Do your best to get inside most of the sliced openings.
    7. Return to the oven and bake for about another 30 minuets. Or until the squash is fully tender and starting to brown.
    8. Pour over the maple syrup, pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds.
    9. Serve Warm.
    Recipe Notes

    Note: Cooking time varies greatly depending on the size of the butternut squash. Just be sure to keep an eye on it in the oven the last 10 minuets or so to be sure not to overlook.
