Roasting Pan For Oven
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place squash halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.
- Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast for about 40 minutes, then check the thickest part of the squash with a fork. Continue roasting if needed until the flesh is tender throughout and the exposed surface is lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and serve warm.

Notes
• Wash and dry the squash before cutting, even though the skin will not be eaten.
• Use a stable cutting board and a sharp knife when halving the squash. Do not force a knife through a squash that is difficult to cut safely.
• Keep the skin on during roasting; scoop out the tender flesh after cooking if preferred.
• Squash size and thickness affect roasting time. Check the thick neck section for tenderness rather than judging only by the surface.
• This method uses cut-side-up roasting. Keep that orientation consistent when checking the stated cooking time.
• Divide each roasted half into two portions for four servings.
