Step 1
Place oven rack right below the middle position in your oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash peel of squash and cut squash in half from the stem to the bottom (see note). Don’t try to cut through the stem, when you get to the stem, just crack the squash in half and it will separate.
Step 3
Scrape out seeds and stringy bits - I use a grapefruit spoon for this!
Step 4
Prepare squash -- for savory, rub inside with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. For sweet, rub inside with melted butter and sprinkle with brown or coconut sugar. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Place in preheated oven and roast for 50-60 minutes or until very tender to the poke of a fork.
Step 6
Enjoy immediately or store covered in fridge for 3-4 days.
