This was something new to us to try. But it was so easy, and turned out so good, I had to share. Just step through the instructions, it's hard to go wrong with this one.

Steps

10 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F

  2. 2

    Clean the outside of your squash.

  3. 3

    Cut the stem and blossom ends off

  4. 4

    Cut it in half, I prefer pole to pole so the skinned sections (the already cut stem and blossom ends) are on the ends instead of the middle

  5. 5

    Using a metal table spoon (I find works well) clean the seed pockets out.

  6. 6

    Now slice wedges from the squash. Thinner cooks quicker, is slightly more crunchy with more black bits (the good stuff)

  7. 7

    Mix the oil and maple syrup in a bowl large enough to hold all the squash wedges.

  8. 8

    Mix the squash wedges carefully until all are completely covered I the sauce.

  9. 9

    Using parchment or as I did here, just use a spray oil to coat a baking sheet. Lay your squash wedges out with some spacing.

  10. 10

    Using just pinches of salt at a time, put some on each wedge.

  11. 11

    Using just pinches at a time, sprinkle crushed red pepper on the wedges. The amount you see on mine is a nice bite off heat without overpowering you. But adjust the amount for your taste.

  12. 12

    Place on middle rack of oven. Cook 40-50 minutes. These were 50 minutes.

  13. 13

    Serve immediately. Note - the skin is edible, try a bite first. The flesh comes off the skin very easily if you choose to not eat the skin.

My wife is disabled, she has M.S. And she finds it hard to cook from her wheelchair. I like a variety of foods, but hate tomatoes, so you don't see too many of my recipes with tomatoes on them. Also both of us have type II diabetes, so high carb and sweet is usually not on the menu either. We have one married daughter, and one that now lives in the Seattle area. We live in Texas, USA with our two dogs.Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Been taking chemo and radiation. and it has taken some out of me. Doctor says it seems to be working, so there is that.
