Meanwhile, whisk butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat until melted.

Cook until the solids at the bottom begin to brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and whisk in sage, maple syrup and lemon juice.

Flip the squash and spoon the butter mixture over the top.

Continue roasting until golden and tender, 8 to 10 minutes more.

Serve sprinkled with pepitas.
