Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Carefully cut the squash in half. Discard the seeds and strings. Place the squash on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and salt. Stir to combine.
Using a pastry brush, spread the brown sugar mixture over the entire squash. You should use the entire brown sugar mixture. A handful of the brown sugar mixture will end up making its way to the center core of the squash (that's ok!)
Place the squash in the oven and roast for 45-50 minutes or until soft and tender. It's done when you can insert a fork into the meat with ease. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. You can serve the squash as is, or you can scoop the meat out and add it to a serving bowl. Serve warm. Enjoy!
