For an enhanced flavor profile, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to each squash half before broiling. If you prefer a deeper caramelization, broil for an additional minute or two, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
