Baked Squash

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Cut the squash into squares, leaving the rind on.

  2. Bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven until tender, similar to sweet potatoes.
