Roast it - makes it easier to get the skin off. Then cover with cheese, melt and serve with crusty bread. Yum!
This is great and easy ....

My son's favorite and so so easy too...


Cut up in large chunks..keeping skin on. Melt butter in a baking pan. Sprinkle the squash with seasonings like...allspice/nutmeg/clove/ a little cinnamon/ a little pepper and brown sugar. Put in butter and bake on 350. While baking ..baste with the butter. Bake until tender. Great side dish for any type of meat.
My favorite is maple roasted...





Cut bnut squash into equal size cubes for easy roasting. Toss in a bowl with a couple of tblspns melted butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/4 cup or so of Pure Maple Syrup. Place in a single layer on a foil lined baking sheet, bake at 350 for approx 30mins or until tender. The squash will carmelize and it's fabulous!!
Cut in half and bake it, than cut it up or mash it and put in a bag and freeze it. I do it with all left over veggies.
