Baked Squash
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Prepare
Cut the Hubbard squash into pieces.
Place the squash rind side down in a tin pan.
Cover the pan tightly.
Bake and serve
Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for one hour or more.
Scrape the squash from the rind and season with salt and pepper to taste.

What each ingredient does
- Hubbard squash
- Forms the main body of the dish; cooking softens its flesh into a tender, spoonable texture.
The step that matters
Covering the pan tightly. A tight cover traps steam around the squash, so it cooks through gently and stays moist instead of drying out in the oven.
