This has to be my favourite squash. I was so excited when my sister gave me some of her non- GMO seeds to plant in my garden.  She has a huge garden where she focuses on heirloom, non GMO organic gardening. For gardening tips, check out her Instagram posts rita_di_gardens.

I want to be able to taste the delicious squash so I am keeping this simple. Peel it, slice it and roast it!

You can watch my IGTV instagram video to see how I peel and slice the squash. Can be tricky due to the super hard skin.

I use a potato peeler to remove skin, then I cut the ends off. I cut squash in half, horizontally, so it’s easier to manage.

Cut in half vertically and scoop out seeds.

I then cut half inch slices and place on cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.

Drizzle squash slices with good olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and make sure they are all well coated.

Bake at 375 F for half an hour or until fully cooked and fork tender.

If desired, pull out 10 minutes early and sprinkle squash with brown sugar. Mmmmmmmmh Tastes like candy!
