Roasted Butternut or Acorn Squash

Ingredients

1
butternut squash (sliced into 2 to 3 inch chunks, seeded, leaving skin on OR)
2
acorn squash (sliced into 4 to 6 wedges, seeded, leaving skin on)
2 tablespoons
olive oil
 
salt and pepper (to taste)
Yields:
servings

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Prepare squash by slicing into chunks leaving the skin on and removing seeds. The smaller the chunks, the less cooking time required. Drizzle olive oil over flesh of the squash and spread with a spoon or hand for even coverage.

In preheated oven, place squash cut sides down on the prepared baking sheet, and roast for 30 minutes, or until a sharp knife can be inserted with only a little resistance. Keep an eye on the squash to prevent burning of the skin.

Remove squash from oven, add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the skin which should be tender enough to be eaten.  (Recipe♦720)
