Recipes

To prepare the squash, rub each half with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  Place the halves cut-side down onto a large rimmed baking sheet.  Place in a 400°F oven.  Depending on the size of the squash, it will roast for about 1 hour or more.  When it is done you will be able to pierce it with a paring knife with little to no resistance.  Remove the squash from the oven, flip the halves over and place 2 Tbsp of butter in each half to melt.  Using a fork, scrape out the squash, it will be stringy (like spaghetti!).  Place the squash in a bowl and mix with the maple syrup.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.
