Ingredients
The following ingredients have 3 Servings
- 1 (2 to 3 pound) butternut squash
- 1 to 2 tablespoons lime juice
- Salt (and coarsely-ground pepper to taste)
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Wash outside of the butternut squash.
- Place whole squash onto an ungreased baking sheet, and prick in a few places with a sharp knife.
- Bake, uncovered, approximately 60 to 90 minutes or until tender and easily pierced with a fork. Remove from oven.
- Cut squash in half lengthwise and remove fibers and seeds. Season each half with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Cut each half in half again and serve.
- Variation: In a small frying pan over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter; stir in 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Add 1 tablespoon brown sugar; stir until well blended. Brush the butter mixture over each portion of squash before servings.
