Directions

1. Cut the squash in half and scoop the seeds out. Liberally coat with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast at 375 degrees until soft, about 25 minutes.
2. While the squash is cooking, cook the bacon in a large skillet. When it's done cooking, remove the bacon, but keep the fat in the pan. If you're cooking vegan, skip this step.
3. When the squash is soft, remove it from the oven and peel it. You can cut the skin off with a chef's knife if you're comfortable cutting like this. If not, scoop the inside out with a spoon. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
4. Mince the shallot and garlic and add to a medium-hot skillet with the bacon fat or 1 tbs olive oil. Cook until soft.
5. Add the squash to the pan, season and stir. When nicely coated, add the sugar and water. Cook until the water is mostly evaporated.
