Roast Butternut Squash

American Side Recipes

1 butternut squash some butter a paper grocery bag a jellyroll pan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds. Cut paper bag to fit in jellyroll pan. Butter the area of the paper where the cut sides of the squash will touch the paper. Lay the two halfs, cut side down, on the buttered paper. Roast the squash in the oven until fork tender - depends on the size of your squash. A medium size one takes about 40-45 mins. Remove from oven, turn halves over, scoop flesh out of the skins and place in large bowl. Stir it up with a fork to even out the texture. Either serve immediately, or refrigerate it and reheat it in microwave. Enjoy! -Diana
