1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. Season the Squash: Drizzle olive oil over the cut sides of the squash. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cinnamon (if using).
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
5. Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the flesh is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
