Cover sheet pan with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes, tossing halfway through, until squash is soft.

If desired, heat a neutral oil in a small skillet over medium high heat. Fry sage leaves until crispy. Remove and let cool, then use as garnish. A little extra, but adds a little tasty crunch.
