Baked Whole Butternut Squash Recipe

Recipe Type: Squash, Vegetables
Yields: 2 to 4 servings
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 60 min


Ingredients:

1 (2 to 3 pounds) butternut squash
1 to 2 tablespoons lime juice
Salt and coarsely-ground pepper to taste


Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place whole squash onto an ungreased baking sheet, and prick in a few places with a sharp knife. Bake, uncovered, approximately 60 minutes or until tender. 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.
