Baked Buttercup

Fast and easy, my family's favorite squash!

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Rub outside of squash with a touch of olive oil, just enough to make it shine. Place it on a lined baking sheet in the oven for about ¾ to 1 hour, until lightly browned and soft the the poke of a wooden spoon. Remove from oven, cut in half, scoop out and discard seeds and strings.

Serve in a dish or in the squash shell. This squash is dry and sweet. Try it with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.
