Roasting Winter Squash

This technique is so much easier than trying to peel a winter squash.

Set the oven to 400. Wash and halve the squash. Rub oil on the flat side of each piece then salt generously..
Lay each piece flat side down on the pan and bake for 30minutes or until soft.

You should be able to easily scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Flip em over and let em cool.

Once they're cool you should be able to easily remove the seeds and separate the flesh from the skin. YES!


ALSO!   If you want cubed squash for the dish you are preparing... you don't have to peel it at all! Just scrub the squash well, get out your sharpest chef knife and cube that sucker. The skin is totally edible and loaded with nutrients. It isn't going to be tough or chewy or whatever you would assume... its actually quite lovely
