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.
  • Makes 2 to 4 Servings.
