Seasoned Squash
Directions
Wash squash and cut in half length-wise. Cut in half again if necessary to fit in crock-pot (mine never fits). Scoop out squash seeds with a spoon or ice cream scoop. Pour enough water in bottom of crock-pot to cover bottom (about ½ cup). Place squash in crock-pot, cut side up. Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, and thyme. Cover and cook on high 2 ½ - 3 hours. Squash is finished when you can stick a fork in the squash “flesh” and it’s tender; the outer shell will start to look like it’s “pruning” up. Notes: Another option is to cook the squash in the oven. This is quicker but requires more attention. Prepare squash similar to above method. Coat baking dish with a little olive oil or butter. Place squash cut-side down on baking dish. Cook at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes. Sprinkle with desired spices. Use any combination of spices to season your squash. Some good options include: Brown Sugar Honey Maple Syrup Salt Pepper Garlic Servings: 4 Prep and Cooking Time: 5 minutes prep; 2 ½ - 3 hours in crock-pot |
