What is the best way to prepare winter squash?
Winter squash can be flavorfully prepared in either the oven or the microwave. For oven preparation, cut the squash in half and place it skin down on a cookie sheet. Cook it at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes, until it is fork-tender. For microwave preparation, cut the squash in half and cook it on high power for 20 minutes. Rotate the squash one-half turn, then cook it for an additional 15-20 minutes, until it is fork-tender.
