Melted butter | 3 Tablespoon | |

Making
Place prepared squash slices in a large bowl.
Add 3 tablespoons melted butter, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat.
Place coated squash in a single layer on a baking pan.
Bake at 425 degrees (F) on the lowest rack for 30 minutes to brown.
Rotate pan front to back and then bake 6 to 10 minutes longer.
While squash is baking in oven, make topping: Place 3 tablespoons of melted butter in a medium skillet. Add 1/3 cup toasted hazelnuts and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until butter begins to brown.
Remove from heat and add 1 tablespoon water. (Mixture will bubble up.)
Let sit for 1 minute.
Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Stir. Set aside.
Rotate the pan of squash in the oven and cook for 10 more minutes.
Turn all squash slices and return pan back to a 425 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes to brown the other side.
Serving
Transfer cooked squash slices to a nice serving bowl. Pour topping over top and sprinkle with chives, if desired.
