This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the marinade.

I'm not a big fan of butternut squash, but this recipe changed my mind. The marinade really brought out the flavor of the squash and made it so tender. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a good recipe, but I made a few changes. I used a different type of vinegar in the marinade and I added some chopped walnuts. It turned out great!

I thought this recipe was just okay. The butternut squash was a bit bland and the marinade didn't really add much flavor. I probably won't be making this again.

This was a great way to use up some leftover butternut squash. The marinade was easy to make and the squash turned out delicious. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a perfect meal.
