  • Use a sharp knife to cut the squash: This will help to prevent the squash from becoming mushy.

  • Season the squash to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Add other vegetables to the bake: Onion, zucchini, and bell peppers are all good choices.
  • Top the squash with cheese or breadcrumbs: This will add a crispy texture and extra flavor.
  • Bake the squash until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the squash is cooked through and caramelized.
  • Serve the squash as a side dish or main course: It is delicious with roasted chicken, fish, or pork.
